Toledo, Ohio - The Glass Bowl has been ranked by fans as the No. 4 college football stadium in the country, according to a new poll conducted by Podium.com. An article ranking 25 of the top stadiums in the nation was published by Business Insider on its website.
The Glass Bowl had an overall rating of 4.837 out of 5. In the comment section, the article mentioned the famous "Rocket," a U.S. Army Nike-Ajax missile that sits just outside the University of Toledo's venerable football stadium.
Originally built as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project in 1937, the Glass Bowl was renovated in 1990. As a result of those changes, the Glass Bowl became a graceful synthesis of modern technology and old-time charm and craftsmanship. More recent improvements to the Glass Bowl include a renovation of the east side of the stadium (2016), new turf (2016) and the addition of the installation of a new videoboard as part of the Larimer Athletic Complex renovation (2014).
The Rockets have played 430 games in the Glass Bowl, and have a 294-128-8 record. In each of the first three games this year, more than 23,000 fans have packed the stadium, including an above-capacity crowd of 28,117 for the contest vs. Miami (Fla.) on Sept. 15. Another big crowd is expected for Saturday's Homecoming game vs. Bowling Green. Kickoff begins at 3:30 p.m. A limited number of tickets are still available. For more information, go online or call 419-530-GOLD (4653).
