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:
“O my Brothers! love your Country. Our Country is our home, the home which God has given us, placing therein a numerous family which we love and are loved by, and with which we have a more intimate and quicker communion of feeling and thought than with others; a family which by its concentration upon a given spot, and by the homogeneous nature of its elements, is destined for a special kind of activity.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
