The North Gate, 1935. (From the looks of things, it must've been newly completed.)

Where was Southwestern Stadium?

Where was Southwestern Stadium?

The Student Union is located where it was, except even closer to The Swamp.

The Cypress Trees scratched the backs of the students in the stands that is why the fans in the stands were called "The Grove"

So Southwestern Stadium touched the eastern side of The Swamp.

The very first "field" 1901, 1902 touched the western side of The Swamp. Hebrard Blvd and where the buildings are being torn down and clears right now.

In 1903 it was moved behind old Martin Hall and had various configurations.

In 1914ish the students built a stadium where Stephens Hall is. Thats why I think the bell should be moved to TheReal Swamp.

Then in 1926 SWF.

Thanks for the details....I was always curious about that.

And I like the idea of moving the bell. If I had a wicked sense of humor I'd suggest we start a petition to do that. But I don't....so I won't. lol.
