Memorial Stadium, originally called Roosevelt Stadium, was built in 1935 with Federal Works Project Administration funds.[i] It was demolished to make way for a new community center in July of 2010. The stadium was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 19th, 2010, too late to stop demolition, which began on July 27th.
