Stagg Field, 1927
|
Stagg Field, University of Chicago, November 1927. Named after legendary Chicago coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, the now-demolished stadium eventually became as well-known for the world's first self-sustaining nuclear reaction, which took place under its stands, as for the heroics of the teams that played there.
