Located on the northeast side of Butler's campus just east of storied Hinkle Fieldhouse, the Butler Bowl serves as the home of Butler's football team and men's and women's soccer teams. After a $2.6 million renovation in 2010, the Bowl now features bleacher seating for 5,039 across the west side of the field—including 250 chairback seats—as well as capacity for 434 for visitors along the east sideline. Construction of the Bowl was completed in time for the start of the 1928 football season, and Butler inaugurated the stadium by defeating Franklin, 55-0. The original Butler Bowl had seating for 36,000 spectators, with an option to enlarge the seating capacity to 72,000.
