The University of Pennsylvania Newman Center in Philadelphia is home to Franklin Field, the oldest two-tiered stadium in the nation. This iconic U-shaped stadium, with a seating capacity of approximately 70,000, has hosted significant events including the Army-Navy games and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Constructed in 1922, Franklin Field features a grand architectural design, characterized by high open arcades and a northern Italian style brick battlemented parapet. The stadium is currently undergoing a major restoration project aimed at enhancing its structural integrity and extending its lifespan.
