Indiana Hoosiers

Come show your Hoosier pride with a flag today! IU began playing football in 1884. The 52,692-seat, open-air Memorial Stadium was built in 1960. There have been many renovations since the original construction, including installing artificial turf in 1970, the replacement of wooden seats with aluminum, installation of sound and lighting systems, and laying of a new Astroturf surface in 1986, which was subsequently replaced with natural grass in 1998. In 2003, AstroPlay artificial turf was installed. Plans went through on September 22, 2006 to enclose the north endzone of Memorial Stadium. This addition is part of a $55 million overhaul of Indiana University's sports facilities
