Savage Stadium was a 3,000-seat outdoor, grass-field football stadium, part of a football complex including the adjacent Dill Field, on the campus of Oberlin College, in Oberlin, Ohio. The stadium hosted primarily Oberlin's varsity football home games. It was formerly the site of Oberlin's home soccer and lacrosse matches as well as track and field meets and includes a seven-lane all-weather running track. However, since the completion of the Fred Shults Soccer Field and Robert Kahn Track in the Fall of 2006, the stadium has been used primarily for football. ==Construction and naming== The contract to build the stadium was awarded on June 12, 1925 to the Van Blarcom Company of Cleveland. The Osborn Engineering Company of Cleveland was the architect. The construction was made possible by subscriptions from 826 alumni, present students, and others, who provided funds for the erection of 1,750 seats at $12.50 per seat. These subscribers, known as "Stadium Builders," were given the privilege of purchasing seats for a period of years in the central preferred section of the stand. The new stands were ready for use in October 1925. The stadium was named for former athletic director Charles W. Savage, who served the college from 1905 to 1918 and from 1920 to 1935. It was during his tenure that the College built several physical education facilities including the stadium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Savage Football Stadium )〕 The new Savage Stadium scoreboard, installed in 2007, was a gift from Robert Fishback '58, a three-sport Oberlin Athlete.
