BIG RAPIDS, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Ferris State University is redefining campus living — with front-row seats included.

The university’s newest residence hall, Stadium Hall, is on track to open for the fall semester, offering incoming freshmen the chance to live just steps away from the action at Top Taggart Field. The $38 million facility wraps around the north end zone of the Bulldogs’ football stadium, giving students a view unlike any other in Michigan higher education.

From their own rooms, residents will be able to watch the four-time national champion Bulldogs take the field — no ticket required.

Designed to house about 280 students, Stadium Hall will join North Hall as a residence option reserved specifically for freshmen. While the building is physically connected to the stadium, it’s not just for student-athletes. University leaders say the hall is meant for any first-year student eager to be at the center of campus life.

“This is an extraordinary opportunity for incoming freshmen to be a part of something very special,” said Lisa Ortiz, director of Housing and Residence Life. “This will be a great space for athletics fans, or any student looking to be in the heart of campus and be part of the inaugural community living here.”

The hall features modern amenities, including recreation and study spaces, a market, and expansive first-floor community areas that open directly toward the stadium — close enough to be “within range of a long field goal.”

Ortiz said rooms are still available but encourages future Bulldogs to act quickly.

“Life-changing journeys start in our residence halls,” she said. “Many students choose to remain in residence hall for the convenience, affordability, and safety of their campus homes.”
