About Merchants Bank Field At Memorial Stadium
Welcome to Merchants Bank Field at Memorial Stadium, the home of Indiana Hoosiers football since 1960. Located at the northeast corner of 17th Street and North Dunn Street in Bloomington, IN, this iconic venue draws fans from across the region. With a total seating capacity of 52,929 across East, West, North End Zone, and club areas, you’ll want to secure your seats early for game day. The stadium branding update in 2025 marked a new era for the venue, while preserving its long-standing place in Indiana sports culture.
Whether you’re planning a weekend in Bloomington or a quick game-day trip, we’ve got you covered with seating info, parking options, transit details, and nearby hotel and dining picks to help you make the most of your visit.
Tip: Arrive early to enjoy grass lots that open about five hours before kickoff. For ADA access, Gate 12 offers designated parking. If you’re driving on game day, expect day-of-game lots around campus with fees similar to typical rates, and some garages offering free options. For a seamless experience, consider prepaid parking and explore transit options like bus lines 1 and 9 or fan shuttles on game days.
