Stadium: Byrd Stadium
Since opening on Sept. 30, 1950, when Maryland defeated Navy 35-21 in the dedication game before a school-record crowd of 43,386 fans, Byrd has undergone a number of major facelifts, three of which occurred in the 1990s and have resulted in its present form. The first came shortly after the 1990 home season, when the Tyser Tower press box - a fantastic five-tier, 90-foot high, 160-foot long structure - was built on the stadium's south rim. Tyser Tower accommodates 300 exterior luxury seats, a hospitality suite with theater-style seating, a spacious working press area, television and radio booths, and a photo deck.

Season Preview:
The issue with Maryland is at quarterback. The Terps have proven players in nearly all other segments. But remember how this team struggled in 2004-05, due to ineffective play at that position? The Terps will try to avoid it again. The team returns 13 starters and the early schedule (Villanova, Florida International) allows the chance to ease into the season and gain confidence. Seven starters return, including the backfield tandem of Lance Ball and Keon Lattimore. The receivers and running backs who are returning produced nearly the entire offensive production last year. But everything will depend on how quickly the quarterback can develop. Major holes to fill. The Terps will miss S Josh Wilson, a second-round draft pick of the Seattle Seahawks. They must revamp linebackers and defensive line. This is the biggest concern, aside from quarterback. The Terps have to replace All-ACC P Adam Podlesh. PK Obi Egekeze has never attempted a field goal in a game. He replaces Dan Ennis.
