Schoellkopf Field |
Home of Big Red:football, sprint football, field
hockey and men's and women's lacrosse. The facility has undergone many great changes over the years, resulting
in today’s magnificent structure.
During the 19th century, many of Cornell’s athletic teams trained on Percy Field where Ithaca High School now
stands. During the early 1900s, though, Cornell’s population grew quickly and Percy Field was no longer
suitable for the growing number of Cornell athletes.
Gradually, the idea of having adequate athletic facilities on campus developed. The Alumni Field Committee
was created to consider this possibility and they persuaded the university set aside land for a field. The
committee “strove, pled, and prayed” for donations to the proposed athletic facilities. |
