UMass football is at Amherst - they play their home games at Gillette though.
UMass is a large flagship state university. IMHO, it's neither particularly attractive nor especially unattractive. Amherst is a small (1,600) LAC with a very attractive campus. They are very close to each other; through the 5 College Consortium, you can take classes at both (as well as Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Hampshire).
UMass is a significantly easier admit, even if you are out of state.
