Brown Field has been home to the Valparaiso University<br />
football team since 1919, when the program was founded<br />
and prior to the 2008 season saw numerous renovations take<br />
place to help enhance the stadium. With a seating capacity<br />
of 5,000, Brown Field is the perfect location to watch a<br />
football game on a Saturday afternoon.<br />
The Crusaders won their first game ever at Brown Field<br />
26-0 against the Chicago YMCA on October 11, 1919 and<br />
have played more than 400 games at the stadium since its<br />
inception.<br />
Prior to the 2008 season, a new artificial surface was<br />
installed at Brown Field as part of numerous renovations.<br />
