Vanderbilt Stadium
Vanderbilt Stadium, an intimate 39,790-seat facility located in the heart of campus, has been the Commodores' home since 1981. The Commodores began playing home games at the current location in 1922. Dudley Field, as it was named, was the first stadium in the South to be erected exclusively for college football. Vanderbilt dedicated its new stadium October 14, 1922, with a game for the ages. The Michigan Wolverines, a national power even in those days, came to Nashville as heavy favorites. The Commodores battled to a 0-0 tie, giving every one of the 20,000-plus fans in attendance a memory to cherish.

Season Preview:
With victories over Tennessee the past two seasons, Vanderbilt showed signs of progress. At the same time, the Commodores still failed to finish with a winning record or earn a bowl berth. With the return of 19 starters from a 4-8 team that lost to Florida, Arkansas, Alabama and Ole Miss by a total of 18 points, Vanderbilt must improve in all three major areas -- especially the running game -- to get over the hump against a schedule that will includes eight teams that played in bowls in 2006. QB Chris Nickson struggled with consistency in his first season as the starter, but he also showed plenty of potential as a passer and runner. If he can build on last season's lessons, make better decisions, cut down on turnovers and make good use of his receivers, he should be much better in 2007. The real key, though, will be the running game. The return of tailback Jeff Jennings, who missed the 2006 season with an injury, adds another weapon to backfield that returns solid Cassen Jackson-Garrison and speedy Jared Hawkins. In addition, the return of senior tackle Brian Stamper who was granted an additional year of eligibility after suffering a back injury last season, should boost a line that returns four other starters from last season. The defensive line has often been Vanderbilt's primary weakness. Now, with the return of tackle Theo Horrocks and end Curtis Gatewood, it could be a strength. In fact, with the return of linebackers Jonathan Goff and Marcus Buggs, the entire front seven should give Vanderbilt a chance in more games. The emergence of rising young sophomores such as end Quavian Lewis and weak-side linebackers Brandon Bryant and Patrick Benoist adds more speed to the front seven. The secondary returns four starters, but increased depth and competition allowed the coaches to work with different combinations in the spring, so there's still a lot to be determined. The return of PK Bryant Hahnfeldt and P Brett Upson gives Vanderbilt a chance to be productive in the kicking game. Now, the Commodores need to be a better job creating big plays, especially when Bennett is back on returns.
