History

Memorial Stadium was built to remember the students and graduates of the college who had fallen in battle in World War I. Dean Willard comments, "its towers and walls, built of beautiful native limestone, will present a structure of quiet strength that will harmonize with other buildings on the campus." The east stands were erected in 1924 for $45,000, a year after the west stands were built. The underside of the seating was exposed until 1928 when the stone walls and towers were erected on the east side for $37,000.
