Memorial Field’s West Stand as Roman ruin

The Big Green Alert Daily keeps us up to date on Memorial Field with frequent photos of the demolition:

  • The posts of November 20, November 21, and November 26 show demo preparation.
  • The December 5 post shows the slot cut in the concrete cheek wall at the north end. I’d swear those concrete ends were faced in brick at some point.
  • The December 13 post has photos of the bracing. With the removal of the press box, the entry arch has been temporarily returned to its 1920s proportions.
  • The December 14 post has a photo showing the building’s original vaulted “chapel” space remaining under the central seats (see also below). It has since been demolished. Oh well.
  • The January 8 post shows demolition just about finished.
  • The January 30 post has information from the builder and photos.

Dartmouth Now has an article on the project, and the athletic department has a time-lapse video of the demolition.
