It is the home field of the Washington State Cougars of the Pacific-12 Conference. The FieldTurf playing field runs an unorthodox east-west, at an elevation of above sea level.〔(Topographic map and aerial photo ) from USGS via Microsoft Research Maps〕 ==History== The stadium is named after Clarence D. Martin (1886–1955), the governor of the state of Washington (1933–41), a former mayor of Cheney, and, ironically, a graduate of the University of Washington. His son, Dan (Clarence D. Martin, Jr., 1916–1976),〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Washington State University Libraries )〕 made a $250,000 donation to the project in January 1972. Additional gifts were continued by Dan's widow, Charlotte Martin. Martin Stadium opened on September 30, 1972, with a disappointing 19-point loss to Utah, then a member of the WAC,〔(cfbdatawarehouse.com ) - WSU results - 1970-74〕 with 20,600 in attendance. Two and a half years had passed since the south grandstand of its predecessor, the wooden Rogers Field, was significantly damaged by fire, a suspected case of arson. The WSU Cougars played all of their home games at Joe Albi Stadium in Spokane in 1970 and 1971. When it opened in 1972, only the south grandstand was new, the remaining seats from Rogers (north sideline, east end zone) were not yet replaced.〔 As of 2006, the stadium has a seating capacity of 35,117. Since the expansionion of Reser Stadium at Oregon State in 2005, Martin Stadium fell to last in football seating capacity in the Pac-10 (now Pac-12). The current attendance record was set during the championship year of 1997, when WSU beat Stanford on Senior Day in front of 40,306 on November 15. (They won the Apple Cup at Husky Stadium in Seattle the following week to win the Pac-10, and played in the Rose Bowl for the first time in 67 years.) Despite the relatively small size of Martin Stadium, it has one of the highest ratios of seating capacity to population base; almost 1.6 seats per every citizen in the city of Pullman, and a seat for everyone in Whitman County. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martin Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
