Home Venue
YSU plays its home games at Stambaugh Stadium, nicknamed "The Ice Castle", which has an official capacity of 20,630, one of the largest in Division I FCS. If the team were to be moved to Division I FBS, they would likely play in the Mid-American Conference, due to their geographic location and former rivalry with the University of Akron Zips. The Zips, who are currently a member of the MAC, held contests against the Penguins for the Steel Tire from 1940 to 1995. Youngstown State leads the overall series 19–14–2.

Famous quotes containing the word home:
“Adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed. Sometimes they are four years old, an hour later they are twenty-five. They don’t really fit anywhere. There’s a yearning for place, a search for solid ground.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
