About Schoellkopf Field

Schoellkopf Field is an open-air stadium located at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. It opened in 1915, with the historic Crescent grandstand and Schoellkopf Memorial Hall dating to the 1910s and 1920s. Owned and operated by Cornell University through Cornell Athletics, the stadium holds approximately 21,500 fans, with seating centered around the Crescent grandstand built into the natural slope of the campus terrain.

The venue is home to Cornell Big Red Football, Cornell Big Red Sprint Football, Cornell Big Red Men's Lacrosse, Cornell Big Red Women's Lacrosse, and Cornell Big Red Field Hockey. Its event mix is primarily collegiate athletics, with football in autumn and lacrosse and field hockey during their respective collegiate seasons, along with university and community events such as Community Field Day and recreational use.

One of the historic venues of Ivy League and Eastern collegiate athletics, Schoellkopf Field is named for the Schoellkopf family, longtime Cornell benefactors, and is closely associated with generations of Cornell football rivalries and Big Red athletic traditions.

Location & Transportation

Schoellkopf Field is located at 513 Campus Rd, Ithaca, NY 14850 — on Cornell University's central campus near Schoellkopf Memorial Hall and above Cascadilla Gorge.

Driving and Parking: Schoellkopf Field is reachable via Campus Road, with Cornell campus parking lots and garages serving the venue. Event and game-day parking policies are in effect for Cornell Athletics events, and campus lots can fill for marquee football dates, so arriving early is the best approach for high-demand games.

Transit: The venue is served by TCAT bus routes that connect Cornell's campus with downtown Ithaca and Collegetown. Ithaca does not have rail service, making bus service, campus parking, rideshare, and walking from nearby areas the primary ways to reach the stadium.

Rideshare: Rideshare and taxi service operate in Ithaca, with drop-off and pickup near campus along Campus Road and adjacent streets. After busier games, allow extra time for vehicles to reach campus streets as fans leave the area.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available in and around Ithaca, including Collegetown, downtown Ithaca near the Commons, and hotels along the Route 13 corridor. The Statler Hotel on Cornell's campus is the closest lodging option to Schoellkopf Field.

Venue Navigation

Schoellkopf Field is integrated into Cornell's campus topography, with a hillside grandstand, outdoor walkways, and campus approaches that can include hills and stairs. Understanding the stadium layout before you arrive helps make game day smoother, especially for football dates and other busy Cornell Athletics events.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through gates along Campus Road and the Crescent grandstand side. The stadium sits near Schoellkopf Memorial Hall, and its access points are shaped by the campus terrain around the field.

Seating Levels: Primary seating is in the Crescent grandstand overlooking the field, with additional sideline seating depending on the event configuration. The grandstand is built into the hillside, creating a classic collegiate stadium feel with the main seating area rising above the playing surface.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available for Cornell Athletics events, with ADA accommodations handled through Cornell Athletics.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and event staff direct guests on game days. Because the campus and stadium involve hills and stairs, comfortable footwear is recommended, especially if you are walking across campus from parking areas, transit stops, Collegetown, or other nearby locations.

How Much Do Tickets to Schoellkopf Field Cost?

Schoellkopf Field ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team or matchup, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from low-cost lacrosse and field hockey dates to Homecoming and Ivy League football rivalry games.

For Cornell football regular-season games, tickets are approximately $10–$30, with premium matchups, rivalry games, and high-demand dates priced higher.

For lacrosse, field hockey, and sprint football, many dates are low-cost or free, and ticketed events are typically under $15.

Buying earlier generally gives you better seating options for marquee football dates. As inventory shrinks and game day approaches, the best remaining sections can become more limited, especially for Ivy League games, Homecoming, and other high-demand matchups.

Schoellkopf Field Seating Guide

Schoellkopf Field seating centers on the Crescent grandstand overlooking the field, with sideline and end sections depending on the event configuration. Because the grandstand is built into sloped terrain, your row and section choice can affect both your view and how much walking or stair-climbing is involved.

Best Seats at Schoellkopf Field

• Best value: End-zone and upper grandstand areas are typically the most affordable options, giving fans a broad view of the field and the surrounding stadium atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Lower sideline rows nearest the field put you closest to the play, making them a strong choice for fans who want maximum proximity to football, lacrosse, field hockey, or sprint football action.
• Best overall experience: Midfield sideline seats in the Crescent grandstand offer the best overall sightlines, balancing field view, atmosphere, and classic stadium perspective.
• For groups: Group seating is accommodated for Cornell Athletics events, and arranging contiguous seats early is helpful for high-demand football games and larger campus events.
• General admission: General admission seating is common for many Cornell athletic events, giving fans flexible seating options when that format is used.

Getting Ready for Your Schoellkopf Field Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor campus stadium with hills, stairs, and game-day crowds.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early for major football games, as campus lots and roads fill. Allow extra time for parking, walking across campus, and reaching your section.
• Wear the right footwear. Cornell's campus setting includes hills and stairs, and the grandstand is built into sloped terrain, so comfortable, sturdy shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. Schoellkopf Field is an outdoor venue in upstate New York, and autumn football games can be cold, windy, or wet. Layers and weather-ready clothing help keep the day comfortable.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. For major football games, plan for extra time around campus roads, parking areas, and the walk to the stadium.
• Know your entrance. Knowing your gate and grandstand section before arriving helps on busier game days and makes it easier to follow signs and staff direction once you reach the stadium.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
