About SECU Stadium

SECU Stadium is the flagship athletics venue of the University of Maryland and the longtime home of Maryland Terrapins football. Located at One Stadium Drive on the university's College Park campus, the stadium opened in 1950 as Byrd Stadium, was renamed Maryland Stadium in 2015, later carried the Capital One Field designation, and became SECU Stadium effective October 1, 2022. It is owned and operated by the University of Maryland and University of Maryland Athletics, with a football capacity of approximately 51,000 after multiple expansions and seating reconfigurations over time.

The stadium primarily hosts NCAA college football, including Maryland Terrapins home games in the Big Ten Conference, high-profile conference matchups, non-conference games, and decades of bowl-contending seasons. It is also used for university events, commencement-related activities, and large campus gatherings outside the core football schedule. The stadium's open-air collegiate bowl design, large videoboard, and red-white-black-gold Testudo branding give it a distinct Maryland identity on game day.

A defining feature of SECU Stadium is the Tyser Tower premium and press structure on the south side, while the playing surface itself is named Capital One Field.

Location & Transportation

SECU Stadium is located at One Stadium Drive, College Park, MD 20742 — on the University of Maryland campus in College Park, near the US-1 corridor and within the broader Washington, D.C. metro area.

Transit: The College Park–University of Maryland Metro station on the Green Line serves the area, and the Purple Line light rail also connects to College Park. Campus shuttle service through Shuttle-UM and local bus connections help link the station and surrounding area with the stadium. Transit is a practical option for fans coming from the D.C. metro system, especially on busy game days.

Driving and Parking: Drivers can reach campus via University Boulevard, also known as MD-193, and Campus Drive, with access nearby from US-1/Baltimore Avenue and the Capital Beltway/I-495. Game-day parking is available in campus lots and garages, with permit and paid options. For marquee games, lots fill ahead of kickoff, so early arrival gives you more time to park, walk to the stadium, and get through entry.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup operate at designated campus points. After games, expect congestion and longer waits around the stadium as crowds leave campus and traffic builds near the main access roads.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available in College Park along the US-1 corridor, as well as in nearby Greenbelt, Hyattsville, and across the broader D.C. metro area. Staying near the College Park Metro or along US-1 provides the easiest access to campus on event day.

Venue Navigation

SECU Stadium is an open-air stadium bowl with multiple gates around the venue, lower and upper seating areas, and premium spaces concentrated on the Tyser Tower side. Understanding your gate, section, and walking route before arrival helps make game day smoother, especially because campus walks from parking areas can be significant.

Entrances and Access: Multiple gates ring the stadium bowl, with entry points serving both lower and upper seating areas. Premium and club patrons access the Tyser Tower side, where suites, club spaces, and press facilities are located.

Seating Levels: The stadium is organized as an open bowl with lower-level sideline and end-zone seating, upper-deck sections, and premium/suite and club areas in the Tyser Tower on the press-box side. Sideline sections offer the primary vantage points along both the home and visitor sides of the field.

Accessibility: ADA and accessible seating and services are available throughout the stadium, with accessible parking and entry points on campus consistent with University of Maryland athletics facilities.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and game-day staff help direct fans to gates and sections. Because parking areas, transit points, and campus routes can involve longer walks, checking your gate and seating level before you arrive helps you choose the most efficient path into the stadium.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, large bags, professional cameras, and other items barred under University of Maryland athletics policy.

How Much Do Tickets to SECU Stadium Cost?

SECU Stadium ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from lower-demand non-conference Maryland football games to marquee Big Ten matchups.

For Maryland Terrapins football non-conference or lower-demand games, tickets can start as low as about $20–$45, depending on opponent, seating location, and remaining inventory.

For Big Ten conference games and marquee matchups, SECU Stadium tickets typically run about $50–$150 or more. Rivalry dates, high-stakes games, and premium seat locations can push prices higher as demand builds.

Buying earlier generally offers better seat selection and pricing for high-demand games. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise, especially for popular opponents and premium vantage points.

SECU Stadium Seating Guide

SECU Stadium's seating layout is worth reviewing before you buy because the open bowl includes lower-level sideline and end-zone sections, upper-deck seating, and premium areas in Tyser Tower. Seat location affects your view of the field, your proximity to the action, and how much walking or stair climbing you can expect once inside.

Best Seats at SECU Stadium

• Best value: Upper-deck and end-zone sections are typically the most affordable areas, giving fans a broader view of the field and the full stadium atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl sideline and front-row sections put you closest to the field, making them strong choices for fans who want maximum proximity to the game.
• Best overall experience: Lower-level sideline sections near midfield offer the best overall sightlines and atmosphere, balancing field view, energy, and location.
• Premium and suite options: Suites and club seating in the Tyser Tower provide a premium experience on the press-box side of the stadium.
• For groups: Designated blocks and premium spaces can accommodate groups, and coordinating contiguous seats early is especially helpful for high-demand games.
• General admission: Student sections may operate as general admission, while most other areas use reserved seating.

You can view an interactive seating map for SECU Stadium events directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the field, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your position in the venue, your distance from the field, and whether you're in a lower-level sideline section, in an end-zone section, or up in the upper deck — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on event night.

Getting Ready for Your SECU Stadium Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an open-air campus stadium where parking, walking routes, weather, and mobile entry all matter on game day.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service can be congested around large crowds on game days. 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 marquee games, as lots fill and traffic builds near kickoff along US-1 and campus access roads.
• Wear the right footwear. Campus walks from parking to the stadium can be long, and the open bowl includes stair climbs to upper sections, so comfortable shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. SECU Stadium is fully exposed to fall weather, so bring layers for cold late-season games and rain gear when needed.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Traffic can build near kickoff around US-1 and campus access roads, and parking areas can fill quickly for high-demand games.
• Know your entrance. Your gate and seating level help guide your route around the multi-gate bowl, and a quick look before arriving can save time once you reach campus.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
