USD plays Nicholls State in Thibodaux, LA in the first round of the FCS playoffs, 11/25/17. The Nicholls State field is named Manning Field (at John L. Guidry Stadium). Seems the question begged is: Is the field named after THE Mannings? The answer, from Wikipedia:
The playing surface is named Manning Field after the Manning family because Peyton Manning, Eli Manning and Archie Manning hold the Manning Passing Academy football camp at the facility.
Looks like the official capacity since modifications in in 2011 is 10,500. Sounds like attendance can be stretched much like it was in old Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. The record attendance is in Guidry Stadium stands at 14,125, set in 1981 when the official capacity was 11,600.
