Save This James Gamble Rogers Stadium/Salve Este Estadio de James Gamble Rogers
Historic Preservation Blog from PreservationDirectory.com - Ryan Field, Dyche Stadium, la Cancha Ryan, el Estadio Dyche
Contributed By: Stephanie Gayes

Ryan Field, formerly known as Dyche Stadium, is a historic college football stadium, home of the Northwestern Wildcats, in Evanston, Illinois.  Built in 1926, the stadium was designed by James Gamble Rogers in the Collegiate Gothic style.  It has uniquely curved grandstands, which are designed to increase visibility of action on the field.  The stadium has been listed by the Illinois State Historic Preservation Office as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.  

The stadium is the smallest football stadium in the Big Ten Conference and the only stadium in the Football Bowl Subdivision with detachable lights.  In the 1931 season, it hosted the first experimental televising of football games, using mechanical television by W9XAO.  It hosted the first night football game in the Big Ten Conference in 1935 against Purdue. It was the home of the first Black head football coach in a Power 5 school, Coach Dennis Green, 1981-1985.  

It hosted pre-Olympic trials in track and field in 1932 and 1948.  It hosted the Chicago Charities College All-Star Games in 1943 and 1944.  It hosted the Eagles versus the Bears in 1970.  It was also the site of two movies, Four Friends (1981) and The Express:  The Ernie Davis Story (2008).  On October 3, 1931, Al Capone, Machine Gun Jack McGurn and the gang visited when the Wildcats beat Nebraska.  

We certainly can’t forget the Run to the Roses in 1995 or the 1996 Cardiac Cats.  Nor can we exclude the connection to Coach Randy Walker, who is memorialized in Walk With Us, before home games, when the team marches down Walker Way, to the Randy Walker Terrace, to the locker room, cheered by Willie the Wildcat, the marching band, and fans.  

Tell politicians and university officials to save Ryan Field!  See the Save Ryan Field website for details.  https://saveryanfield8.wixsite.com/saveryanfield-1

La Cancha Ryan, anteriormente conocida como el Estadio Dyche, es un estadio de fútbol americano universitario histórico, hogar de los Gatos Monteses de la Universidad Noroccidental, en Evanston, Illinois.  Construido en 1926, el estadio fue diseñado por James Gamble Rogers, en el estilo gótico universitario.  Tiene tribunas encorvadas únicas, diseñadas a aumentar la visibilidad de la acción en el campo.  El estadio ha sido listado por la Oficina de Preservación Histórica del Estado de Illinois como elegible para el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos.  

El estadio es el estadio de fútbol americano más pequeño de la Conferencia de los Diez Grandes, y el único estadio de la Subdivisión de Tazones de Fútbol Americano con luces de quita y pon.  En la temporada de 1931, fue lugar de la primera grabación por televisión de partidos de fútbol americano, por televisión mecánica por W9XAO.  Era sitio del primero juego nocturno de fútbol americano de la Conferencia de los Diez Grandes en 1935 en contra de Purdue.  Fue casa del primer director técnico prieto del fútbol americano de una escuela de las Cinco Poderosas Conferencias, el entrenador Dennis Green, 1981-1985.  

Fue sitio de los preolímpicos del atletismo en 1932 y 1948.  Fue lugar de los Juegos de las Estrellas de las Caridades de Chicago en 1943 y 1944.  También, se grabaron dos películas allá, Cuatro Amigos (1981) y El Expreso:  La Historia de Ernie Davis (2008).  El 3 de octubre de 1931, Al Capone, Jack la Ametralladora McGurn, y la pandilla visitaron cuando Los Gatos Monteses derrotaron a Nebraska.  

Definitivamente, no podemos olvidar la Corrida a las Rosas en 1995 o los Gatos Cardíacos en 1996.  Ni podemos excluir la conexión al entrenador, quien está conmemorado en Caminar Con Nosotros, cuando el equipo marcha por la Vía Walker, a la Terraza Randy Walker, al vestuario, vitoreado por Willie el Gato Montés, la banda de marcha, y los aficionados.  

¡Dígales a los políticos y los oficiales universitarios a salvar la Cancha Ryan!  Vea al sitio Salvar la Cancha Ryan para más detalles.  https://saveryanfield8.wixsite.com/saveryanfield-1
