About Dix Stadium

Welcome to Dix Stadium, a multi-use venue on the Kent State University campus in Kent, Ohio. With a capacity of 25,319 after 2008 renovations, Dix Stadium hosts football, soccer, lacrosse, and special events. Whether you’re cheering from the west grandstand or the east student seating, we’ve got you covered with practical seating details, parking tips, transit options, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to help you plan a smooth game-day experience.

Plan ahead: three hours before kickoff, stadium lots open for cash-only parking at the best available price for cars and the best available price for RVs. If you’re driving, you can also use free Summit Street parking lots with a shuttle to Dix Stadium. For transit, a free shuttle operates from Summit Street parking lots, and game-day road closures and bus routes are published in advance with a downloadable parking map available. Nearby hotels like the Kent State University Hotel & Conference Center are ideal for convenience, with other Kent area options such as Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kent and additional partners highlighted by Kent State. Dix Stadium has a varied seating layout including three grandstands (the west is the largest, the east houses student seating), chair-back seating in great seats/the section you want, and accessible ADA seating behind the visitor bench and in marked corners. For the best experience, secure your seats early through our trusted network and check the official Kent State seating map for precise locations. The venue has a storied history, including hosting the 2001 NCAA Division I Field Hockey Championship, a record crowd of 27,363 in 1973 against Miami (OH), a first sell-out in 2010 versus Akron, and serving as a filming location for the movie Draft Day.
