NIU Athletics – Brigham Field at Huskie Stadium

Huskie Stadium has undergone a series of redesigns, additions and renovations since its opening in 1965. The latest upgrade to the stadium was the installation of a new FieldTurf surface this May, giving the playing surface a brighter look and smoother surface for 2009. From AstroTurf to FieldTurf, through physical expansion and technological improvements, Northern Illinois University has kept pace with changing technologies to provide a first-class facility for its student-athletes and fans. Abuzz with activity on any home football game day, Huskie Stadium is also a multi-use, everyday building that serves the Northern Illinois community. Centrally located on the west side of campus, the stadium features plenty of adjacent parking and convenient access to major roadways as well as the Convocation Center and dormitories.
