Title

Conrad Stadium Construction, 1961, photo 2

Description

This image shows a view of the construction on Conrad Stadium at Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967) in July 1961. Bulldozers can be seen in a flattened cleared field. Newland Hall, built 1939, can be seen in the background. Located at the far southern end of Appalachian State, the stadium was completed in 1962, rebuilt in 1979 and was renamed Kidd Brewer Stadium in 1988. It replaced College Field, the previous football field located at the current location of Rankin Science Hall, built 1963.
