HOME OF TEMPLE FOOTBALL
Edberg-Olson Hall is the home of the Temple University football program. Officially dedicated on December 9, 2000, the facility was designed by AP3C Architects of Philadelphia. The building was engineered to not only support the football team's functional requirements, but to enhance the experience through innovative design concepts. During a season, approximately 250 people will pass through its doors on a daily basis.

In 2012, Edberg-Olson Hall underwent a $10 million upgrade with a 15,000-square-foot expansion. The original 23,600-square-foot building contains team and coaches locker rooms, a training room, equipment facilities, coach's offices, a players' lounge, individual position meeting rooms, and a theater-style team meeting room. Opening in July 2012, the upgrade has a strength and conditioning area that expanded from 2,500 square feet to 10,000 square feet. The expansion also features an enlarged sports medicine office with hydrotherapy, a full-service academic support area, and a 3,500-square-foot team function room. An observation balcony runs the length of the building. It is the perfect complement to a gridiron landscape outside featuring over 100,000 square feet of Sprinturf and 24,000 square feet of Astroturf. Eight, 85-foot poles providing 85 candles of white rendition light line the perimeter of the complex. Powder-coated cyclone fences provide privacy.

Edberg-Olson Hall and the football complex were made possible through a fund-raising initiative launched by the Temple University Owl Club in December 1998.
