Franklin Field

Rising from the University of Pennsylvania campus, this landmark is defined by northern Italian-style brick arcades and battlemented parapets. Rebuilt in 1922 while retaining its status as the oldest two-tiered stadium in the nation, the venue accommodates over 50,000 spectators for Quakers football, lacrosse matches, and the annual Penn Relays. The architecture is marked by cast stone quoin-like bands, while the interior layout includes an under-stadium tunnel that offers a glimpse into its long athletic lifespan. For those attending events, the experience often extends beyond the field, mingling collegiate lore with the vibrant atmosphere of historic track and lacrosse traditions.
