Memories of Memorial Stadium
Running July 20 - September 26, 2009
This exhibit contains artifacts and facsimiles from the collections of the University Archives. The exhibit shows a small sampling of hundreds of photographs, films, and documents available through an interactive website illustrating the history of Memorial Stadium. You may view that website through this link. Just as the interactive website illustrates, this exhibit is divided into four themes: The Pageantry, The Gridiron, The Life Inside, and The Brickhouse.
