In fact, Duke?s football program has been consistently cited over the years as one of the most successful of all college football programs. It has also been cited for 12 years as one of the top-ranking schools which graduate nearly all of their football players, an achievement Duke is also proud to have for its players in the other sports.

Once known as the Duke Stadium, it was renamed in 1967 after Wallace Wade, the legendary Hall of Famer and Blue Devils football team coach who steered the team to victory during his tenure from 1930-1950.
