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:
“Contrary to all we hear about women and their empty-nest problem, it may be fathers more often than mothers who are pained by the children’s imminent or actual departure—fathers who want to hold back the clock, to keep the children in the home for just a little longer. Repeatedly women compare their own relief to their husband’s distress”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
