 Martin
Stadium
Pullman, WA
Home of the Washington State
University Cougars, Martin Stadium is unique in several ways. Football
at Washington State dates back to 1892 when the team played at Soldier
Field. A new stadium, known as Rogers Field was built in 1936 and was
home to the Cougars. In April 1970, the south stands on the Cougars
home burned down. In an effort to get a new stadium built, Dan Martin
gave $250,000 to help make a new stadium a realitly for the Cougars.
He pledged the money in order for the new facility to be named after
his father Clarence D. Martin.

A new stadium was built and on
September 30, 1972 the Cougars played the first game at Martin
Stadium. The stadium had a capacity of 27,600 and had an Astroturf
field. By 1975, the north stands were built for the students and in
1979 Martin Stadium got its current look. The track around the field
was removed and the field was lowered 16 feet. This enabled 12,000
seats to be added around the stadium. The latest addition came prior
to the 2001 season when Fieldturf replaced the Astroturf. Today,
Martin Stadium has a seating capacity of 35,117 and regularly sells
out. |
