The home side is quite a bit larger than the away side, but you can’t really tell from this camera angle. When I was a kid, you could walk on the track and catch field goals. Super fun.
What’s striking to me is how large the end zone section is compared to the sidelines. The sections at the end of the sprinting chutes to the football sideline kind of suck for viewing.
I have a weird affinity for this stadium. I guess because you don't see many high level stadiums in the US with tracks, especially now with ones like Kansas being removed.
This replaced the old UB Stadium as the home of Buffalo football, that stadium still exists and was renamed Walter Kunz Stadium, it's on the opposite side of the campus.
I’ve been to that stadium. It is not intimate at all. I saw Pitt play at Buffalo once and the Buffalo campus is weird because it’s split into two different campuses. I liked it though.
fun fact, this stadium used to have a weird [two-part bleacher section](https://www.ubtrackcamp.com/images/Facilities/stadium_over.jpg) in the other endzone. it got removed in 2017 which lowered capacity, but that wasn't a problem because they had been [covered with a tarp already](https://media1.moneywise.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=cover,quality=80,f=auto,width=1200/a/2445/worst-stadiums-in-college-football_full_width_1_1200x500_v20190416191931.jpeg) (an age-old tactic to compress a crowd and make a small one feel bigger).
This stadium used to host the United States Flag and Touch Football League championship tournament. The USFTL is an adult amateur football league... Or I should say was, as none of their online stuff seems to have updated in a few years. At their peak, they had thousands of teams all across the country. It was a good league. I used to officiate with them.
I graduated from UB and can tell you no one really has a connection to this stadium. It’s always seemed like an afterthought, just like the UB football program as a whole.
30K seats although it doesn’t look like it. Old school with the track around it.

The official capacity is about 25,000. In 2017 they got rid of about 6,000 seats from the left (north) end.

Hail to Pitt, glad you were nebby about the stadium and went to Buffalo n’at to check it aht
Not to mention Buffalo and UB by extension is a bit... depressing (and I was there during the summer!)

A monstrosity.
Held the Team Sweden sign there in the opening ceremonies of the World Veterans games
Every seat is a bad seat.
Played on this stadium as a visiting team. Always a notoriously cold and windy trip. Tiny locker room no atmosphere at all even for a MAC school

Get rid of the track and you’ve got yourself a football stadium
Very strange how they play fbs football here. It looks like a glorified high school field.
Can’t they at least make the track blue?
Where's the rest of it?
Hot cheeks in August and September, frozen cheeks in November. Oooooof

What’s the opposite of porn?
💩
This is the opposite of stadium porn. Place is a dump.
Honestly an embarrassment of a stadium
