Football Stadium Review: Taylor Field (Lakeland University)

 Taylor Field at Lakeland University, which is somehow with a Plymouth, Wisconsin address (more on that later) is the scene for the next stadium review.  This is a D3 school from the NACC conference who hosted Concordia-Chicago on this day that I am reviewing.  The Muskies were already out of playoff and conference contention, so this was merely for pride and good vibes for the rest of the year.  They did their job on this day, winning by 31. What did I think of Taylor Field, let's find out below!

Amenities:

A really clean stadium all around, with a food truck, a different food and drink stand, a set of tables for you to sit and eat and watch the game, also fairly clean bathrooms.  The one downside is that while they have a gift shop for merch, it's closed at halftime.  Why? No idea. Major bust there that they couldn't leave it open all day. Otherwise, 4 out of 5.

Atmosphere:

That whole being out of playoff and conference contention really, really hurt Lakeland here.  With that, even with the win, there was almost next to no energy from the crowd, outside of one fan who was raring to fight with the other teams' head coach following a late hit. He later settled down away from the people that were on the bleachers.  Can't do much otherwise though, and unfortunately for Lakeland they didn't have much excitement even in this win.  Sorry friends, you are getting a .5 out of 5.

Location:

Remember me saying that this is somehow with a Plymouth, Wisconsin address? That's because this stadium and university are like 10 miles from Plymouth.  It's LITERALLY in the middle of nowhere. Yes this is an on-campus stadium but that's literally it's only saving grace. Otherwise I cannot really give this more than 1.5 even on location.  It's just one of the more odd stadium locations and one of the more odd college locations ever.

Price/Quality:

Parking being free is always a plus, and the ticket I believe was around 8 dollars so pretty inexpensive as well.  The Food was average, the drinks were Pepsi brand so no problem there.  The food truck was too expensive for my liking (I learned my lesson from Ripon). All in all, 4 out of 5.

Review:

Taylor Field is a nice, clean facility, but it's in the middle of nowhere and when your team isn't very good, the atmosphere is pretty much non-existent.  I did give this a 10 and to be honest, it's a bit more friendly than I thought I would give. The saving grace is it is a clean stadium a relatively cheap day at the ground.  It was, unfortunately, the worst stadium I went to in 2025.
