Birth of "The 'Shoe"
A preliminary discussion of the idea of a new stadium was under way
soon after the close of the 1916 championship season. Ground was
broken for the Stadium in formal ceremonies August 3, 1921. The
stadium was completed in time for the 1922 football season and opened
with much celebration, total cost $1.4 million. The "Shoe" is one of
the most recognizable stadiums today. This poster celebrates the birth
of the historic building.
Architect Howard Dwight Smith drew the plans for
the horseshoe-shaped, double deck stadium. His unique design won him
the gold medal of the American Institute of Architects for “excellence
in public work.”
