Football 1925

[Turbine]

In 1912-13 the student body built a stadium with bleachers where Stephens Hall is. It opened in 13-14. That was still in the Quad but became the permanent Football and baseball field location till Southwestern Stadium was built next to the swamp.

Add 1903 to the first field location. It moved slightly but overlapped the 1901 and 1902 fields. One corner started at Old Martin Hall which was closer to The Swamp than the current Martin Hall and the opposite corner was still on the side of the Swamp.

Old Martin Hall was located where the parking lot for new martin hall is. The Arcade stops at the parking lot because it entered the sides of old martin hall at those locations. That's why the Arcade at the parking lot looks a little odd. So Old martin hall would be further away from Cypress Lake than the current Martin Hall. I assume you are calling Cypress Lake the swamp for some reason.

Cypress Lake didn't arrive till the 1940's

Decades earlier (when it was fenced off and shunned) it was Cypress Swamp. Then when the roads were built and side ditches were dug it was drained, "claimed" and called Cypress Grove. Then later still it was reflooded and called Cypress Lake.

You are correct I got turned around, New Martin Hall was built behind Old Martin Hall. Thanks for the correction.
