Gesling Stadium

About

Gesling Stadium is a 3,900-seat stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, primarily used for football. Built in 1990, it has served as the home of the Carnegie Mellon Tartans football team, as well as Carnegie Mellon's track and field programs. From 1990-2010, it also hosted Carnegie Mellon's men's and women's soccer teams. Gesling Stadium has been described as a historic stadium within the President’s Athletic Conference.

Despite the fact that the Carnegie Mellon Tartans play in Division 3 of College Football, and Pittsburgh has two Division 1 teams in the Pitt Panthers and Duquesne Dukes, Gesling Stadium is the largest stadium in the city of Pittsburgh which was purpose-built primarily for college football. This is due to the fact that the University of Pittsburgh plays at Acrisure Stadium, which was primarily built for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that the Arthur J. Rooney Athletic Field, home of the Duquesne Dukes, only has a capacity of 2,200.

The Tartans currently have a 22 game home win streak at Gesling Stadium, having not lost a game there since March 25, 2021.
