Columbia football plays out in an open 17,000 seat setting inside Baker Athletics Complex.
🏈 Riverfront Football
At Baker Athletics Complex, Lawrence A. Wien Stadium puts Columbia football in an unusually open setting at the northern edge of Manhattan. The venue centers on Robert K. Kraft Field, where the FieldTurf surface and 400 meter all weather track frame Lions matchups. Seating reaches 17,000 spectators, giving the bowl a real game day scale without losing the sense of sky around it.
At 533 W 218th St, the stadium sits close to the meeting point of the Hudson and Harlem rivers. That setting gives a football afternoon more breathing room than the usual campus grid. The 21 acre Baker Athletics Complex keeps the experience focused on the field, the track, and the surrounding water. The grounds are well maintained and supported by clean on site facilities, keeping attention on the action. For a Columbia game, this is a setting with room to look up, settle in, and stay with the action.
