Hope College plays its home football games at Holland Municipal Stadium. Opened
in 1979, the stadium
has permanent seats for 5,322 people. The stadium is located
on a 16-acre parcel near 16th Street and Fairbanks Avenue, south of the Hope
College owned Ekdal J. Buys Athletic Complex. There is on-site parking for
approximately 1,000 vehicles. The stadium has a spacious press box and
two concessions stands
with restrooms. Team locker rooms are available at the nearby city-owned Bouws
swimming pool on game day. The nearby college-owned Lugers
Fieldhouse serves the football team in the Fall and other teams in the Spring.
The fieldhouse
includes a fully equipped sports medicine center and lockerrooms for athletes,
coaches and officials.
The first Hope football
game in the stadium was a 20-2 victory over Wabash College of Indiana on
Sept. 15, 1979.
The 1997 Flying Dutchmen
established a single season attendance record with an average of 4,148 fans
per game. Playing their first night game at the stadium to open the 1997
season, the Flying Dutchmen attracted a record 6,421 fans for the Community
defeating Benedictine, Ill. 27-0. The Dutchmen also played home night games
in 2000, 2007 and 2008.
