STADIUM
JOURNEY

Far removed from the chaos of the annual IMSAs 12 Hours in March, the HSR Pistons and Props weekend features a whole different atmosphere.

Nischwitz Stadium is the home of the Wright State Raiders baseball team, located in Fairborn, Ohio, outside of Dayton.

When Paul Brown Stadium opened in 2000 it was hailed as one of the NFL’s most forward-looking facilities, a clean, modern bowl that set a new standard for sightlines, circulation and fan amenities.

State Farm Field House at Wide World of Sports features a lot of exposed metal beams in the architecture, and its curved roof amplifies the noise and lighting inside. The overall aesthetic of nearby facilities, including Champion Stadium, are carried over here as well.

Hawk Stadium has improved significantly following recent renovations, although this is a low bar to clear. It is still a pretty basic stadium typical of those in the northeast, but the program, which hit an all-time low point a few years ago, is rising again and has a stadium to go with it.
