Bowling Green's rivalry with Toledo began with the first game in the program's history, on October 3, 1919, and it remains one of the Mid-American Conference's signature matchups. The Falcons play in Bowling Green, Ohio, at Doyt Perry Stadium, which opened in 1966 and seats about 24,000. BGSU has been a MAC member for decades. The program played its first season in 1919, and its colors are brown and orange. On game days, look for Freddie and Frieda Falcon on the field and the Falcon Marching Band in the stands. The fight song is "Forward Falcons." See the complete list of games below, with start times and networks posted once confirmed.
