About Schoellkopf Field

Located on the Cornell University campus at 513 Campus Road, Ithaca, NY 14853, Schoellkopf Field is an iconic outdoor stadium hosting football, sprint football, and lacrosse. With a rich history dating back to the early 20th century, the field’s crescent east side opened capacity in the 1920s and the west stands were demolished in 2016, leaving a current seating capacity of 21,500. Whether you’re a Cornell alumnus, a local supporter, or a visiting fan, we’ve got you covered for tickets, parking, transit, and nearby stay options.

Plan ahead for parking and travel: official options include paid C Lot near Hoy Road, the Hoy Parking Garage, Wing Drive Lot, and the Alumni Lot, with additional free parking in select lots as noted on the Parking & Tailgating page. TCAT provides campus-wide public transit, and local routes can help you get to and from your event with ease. For your stay, consider nearby hotels like The Hotel Ithaca, Statler Hotel, Canopy by Hilton Ithaca Downtown, Fairfield Inn & Suites Ithaca, Hampton Inn Ithaca, Best Western University Inn, and La Tourelle. These partnerships help secure convenient lodging and dining options before or after the event.
