Huskie Stadium

Brigham Field at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb, Illinois is the home field of the Northern Illinois University Huskies. It opened in 1965 and is primarily used for American football.

Huskie Stadium is on the west end of the campus, bordered by Stadium Drive to the south, the Yordon Athletic Center to the north, Mary Bell Field to the east, and Ralph McKinzie Field to the west.

The Huskies have experienced large amounts of success in the national spotlight, defeating the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Iowa State Cyclones and the Maryland Terrapins. Because of the Huskies success, NIU has averaged the highest attendance per game in the MAC between 2004-2006.

In recent years, the football program has generated national headlines for the institution. With seven consecutive winning seasons, Northern Illinois has the 25th best record in the nation since 2000 including triumphs over Bowl Championship Series programs such as Wake Forest, Minnesota, University of Alabama, Kansas, University of Maryland, Purdue University, Iowa, and Iowa State University among others. The Huskies finished ranked in the Top 30 during the 2003 and 2004 seasons and defeated Troy University, 34–21, in the 2004 Silicon Valley Football Classic. In 2006, NIU faced off against TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego, California making it the second time in three years NIU had gone to a postseason bowl game. The Huskies made it four bowls in six years with a trip to the International Bowl in 2010 against the University of South Florida. Later, in 2012, they became the first Non-AQ team with one loss to go to a BCS bowl game.

With the addition of the Yordon Athletic Center, the total capacity for the Stadium has decreased to 23,595. In 2013, Huskie Stadium in its current seating format recorded two sellouts in the year. This was the first time since 2003 the Huskies recorded a sellout at the stadium.
