Opened in 1922 as Dudley Field, this was the first stadium in the South built for college football and nothing else. It became Vanderbilt Stadium in 1981 and FirstBank Stadium in 2022. The 1981 rebuild is the story worth knowing: rather than demolish the existing sideline stands, the engineers raised all twelve thousand of those seats ten feet into the air on twenty-two hydraulic jacks and built underneath them. The recent work closed the north end in 2024 and finished the south end in 2025.

Anchor Down is the whole idea — the anchor as the Commodores' symbol and the chain as the metaphor, with a ceremony that dates from 2013 — and the Navy ROTC sound a fog horn known as The Admiral, in use since 2007. It is the smallest ground in the conference and it fills up. It is also genuinely multi-purpose: the university's own graduation comes back here, and it hosts the FCS championship game while another stadium is rebuilt.

Vanderbilt's own pages still carry about 40,350; figures published after the 2025 rebuild put it near 35,000.

One ring of sideline seating in a horseshoe, with no conventional upper deck. The west is the home and press side, with sideline suites and, under the press box, a run of padded seats fitted with heaters and fans — which is the most useful thing in the building in November. The north end is closed by the basketball centre, with covered field-level tabletop seats in front of it and a tabletop terrace on the concourse. The south end is the newest, with an outdoor club level, a field club with a drink rail, loge and living-room boxes and suites on three levels.
