Originally known as "University Stadium," it was built in 1936 at a cost of only $335,000 as a Works Progress Administration project.
There was a grass hill at the south end of the stadium, and at the open (north) end of the bowl were two stone towers (still standing), that served as makeshift housing for the football team in its early years.
Because of this, and the city's concentration on the industry, the stadium was renamed the Glass Bowl in 1946.
