I walked right into Wake Forest about 17 years ago (summer time) and to mid field, looked around and walked back out. Never saw a soul.

When we beat Texas at Texas in 2010 I was on the sideline. After the game I followed the team into the locker room where we celebrated. Nobody said anything to me. I was at the im so proud speech after kicking Texas ass
Just like other buildings on campus, they're almost always unlocked. Had a buddy who worked for campus security at the same time and there were only a handful of doors they locked at like 2 AM. The exceptions in my experience were labs with a lot of expensive equipment that only some students could access with their ISU ID.
Even marching on it sucked - there was a huge crown to the field also so everything sloped to the sidelines from a center slpine
In high school, I "bent" the goalposts on a class field trip to Ames. We were on the field, someone bet me I couldn't touch the crossbar. I jumped up and hung from it. Didn't fall as far as I should have - posts were leaning to the side.
Teacher was upset but no one ratted me out. Can't remember what the bet was but I won.

Years ago, when visiting Florence Italy, I ran from my hotel to the Fiorentina soccer stadium, found the gates open. Walked around the field in the stands slightly worried that the gates would be locked ny the time I got back around. Don't remember seeing anyone around.
My "shouldn't have been there" in a stadium moment came at the last Liberty Bowl. We were sitting over by the press box and noticed the door to the inside was propped open a bit with a piece of 2×4. It was cold so we decided to go inside after the game ended. We walked up into the press box with a bunch of the media guys. We even saw CW working hard on his post game story. There wasn't really any security, just what looked like one attendant.
Did that a few years ago. We were in that neighborhood so we just decided to walk by and it was just open to the street. Didn't push it though, just ducked in and out.
Back in the late '90's I rode my mountain bike onto the Wyoming field in Laramie. Did a lap and left. I'm pretty sure no one ever knew I was there.
In those days, that was probably the best football the field had experienced.
I stopped by the Indianapolis Speedway once (about 25 years ago). The gate was wide open and we could have driven around the track. I really wished we had done that.
Things were way "looser" at a lot of places in the 1970s when I was little. My dad and I were big into sports and stadiums, so we traveled to games and places with stadiums often to see games, but sometimes just to walk in.
JTS (many times as a kid, a college student, and adult)
Metropolitan Stadium (where the Twins/Vikings originally played--went there often to watch games and roam the field--now it's the Mall of America)
Kinnick (same day that a drunk guy fell on my mom, so we never went there again as a family)
Royals Stadium (now Kauffman Stadium, I think)
Colorado
Colorado State
The original Mile High Stadium in Denver
Wrigley
Drake Stadium (never locked)
Have not been able to walk on anywhere recently except for JTS in the summer.

I went to Paris as a senior in high school with a school trip. Had some tennis players on the trip that wanted to see Ronald Garros so we took the metro there. We were amazed you could just walk in and basically walk anywhere you wanted on the grounds. I don't recall there being any secruity presence. You could get all the way down to the first row on center court, and probably could have jumped that and gone on it if you really wanted to.
My mom is an Iowa grad and took me to a game over there back in 2007 to watch them get battered by Indiana with a friend she went to school with and her son, who I've known all my life. After the game, he and I decided to wander back into the stadium since the gates were open and managed to walk across the entire length of the field. Even saw a few others playing catch on the field.
