Alumni Stadium is a football stadium located at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts in the Boston suburbs. It is the home of the football team at BC and also hosted the Boston Patriots during the 1963 and 1969 seasons.
Originally opened in 1957, the stadium was heavily renovated for the 1994 season. Today, it seats 44,500.
ARC USA used a combination of renovations and additions to transform BC's Alumni Stadium into a first class Division 1-A facility. Sited between the indoor basketball court/ ice rink and a parking garage, the new stadium was designed within the same footprint as its predecessor but with 12,500 additional seats, for a total capacity of 44,500. The lower bleacher seats and the track that encircled the football field were removed. Sideline bleachers were constructed and two-tier structures with VIP boxes were added at each end-zone. The south elevation, which faces Beacon Street and the adjacent residential community, uses the same brick and cast-stone pallet as the surrounding academic buildings.
