Description
This
photograph
is
an
elevated
view
of
Ohio
Stadium
and the
campus
of
Ohio
State
University
along
the
Olentangy
River
in
Columbus
,
Ohio
, ca.
1940-1949
. In the
bottom
right
corner
of the
image
, a
train
crosses
the
Olentangy
River
on a
bridge
that
today
carries
Woody
Hayes
Drive
.
Ohio
Stadium
was
built
in
1921-1922
and
dedicated
on
October
21
,
1922
.
Known
by
fans
as "the
Horseshoe
" or "the
Shoe
"
because
of its
unique
shape
, the
stadium
has
undergone
some
dramatic
changes
through
the
years
.
Due
to the
demand
for
more
seats
,
temporary
stands
were
constructed
at the
south
(open)
end
of the
stadium
.
Originally
players
played
on a
grass
field
, but in
1971
,
Ohio
State
installed
Astroturf
. In
1990
,
grass
returned
to
Ohio
Stadium
.
During
the
late
1990s
and
early
2000s
, the
Ohio
Stadium
went
under
a
renovation
. The
university
replaced
the
temporary
stands
in the
south
end
of the
stadium
with
permanent
ones
,
closing
the
open
"
horseshoe.
"
Skyboxes
and a
new
press
box
were also
added
. The
field
was also
lowered
more
than
fourteen
feet
to
make
room
for
additional
seating
.
When
the
renovation
was
complete
in
2001
, the
stadium
could
now
officially
hold
101,568
fans
,
making
it
the
third
largest
stadium
in the
United
States
.
