This 2015 UNC Libraries blog on the dedication of Kenan Stadium includes an article from a French magazine that includes a photo of Cornell's stadium (as well as UNC's and Cal's). https://blogs.lib.unc.edu/uarms/2015/11/

Tampa Stadium had a crescent shape. As did — at least in its original construction — Alamo Stadium in San Antonio, which was built in the early 1940s and is still one of the largest high school stadiums in Texas.

The original Northwestern stadium plans were more impressive, https://x.com/jamesleegilbert/status/1575257526433730560. The Lynchburg stadium complex is still in use for high school football and minor league baseball. So much more I want to add. I'm very excited by this project.

Love the original plans for Dyche. Many of Hadden's stadiums were designed for expansion, including adding second and third decks, but most never had the demand to require expansion.

I'm looking into the Harvard Stadium expansion, which will be interesting to learn more about.
