Stambaugh Stadium (Fifth Ave & Rayen Ave, Youngstown, OH 44502) holds 20,630 Penguin fans on the YSU campus and is the heart of Youngstown State University football. The stadium sits in a residential neighborhood bounded by Fifth Avenue, Rayen Avenue, and Wick Avenue, where game-day street parking and the Kilcawley Center lots fill two hours before kickoff. The university's game-day shuttle runs from remote lots, but groups coming from Boardman, Poland, or Niles find the shuttle connection impractical with tailgate gear and a large party.
A charter bus drops your group at the Fifth Avenue gate entrance, handles the tailgate coolers and portable speakers in the undercarriage bays, and waits nearby for the post-game exit before the neighborhood streets back up. YSU's football schedule, including key Homecoming and rivalry dates when availability goes fast, is listed at the YSU Penguins athletics website.
Address: 450 Fifth Ave, Youngstown, OH 44504.
