Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 17, 2017 -- Today, Stadium announced its lineup of over 25 college football games that will run on its national digital and over-the-air broadcast linear services. Stadium, a new, fully programmed, multi-platform sports network featuring exclusive live and on-demand games and events, extensive highlights, classic games, original programming and daily live studio programming, will officially launch its linear feeds in the coming weeks.
The initial lineup includes 15 games from Conference USA, 10 Patriot League matchups and three games from the Southern Conference.
