UPDATE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stuart Field hosted most of Purdue\u2019s outdoor activities from its creation in the 1890s until the construction of Ross-Ade Stadium in 1924.\u00a0 Everything from football and baseball games to ROTC drills and marching band parades took place on the field. \u00a0At the time of its creation, Stuart Field\u2019s location just east of the Armory was the northern edge of campus. \u00a0Today, the Elliott Hall of Music occupies much of Stuart Field\u2019s former footprint and a plaque commemorates the location of this early Purdue landmark.<\/p>\n

Additional views of Stuart Field provide a glimpse of the area surrounding campus:<\/p>\n
