In 1959, the entire structure was disassembled and moved to the northeast corner of campus, where it was reassembled, expanded, and dubbed Beaver Stadium.

In the early 1900s Penn State announced its plans to create an athletic complex northeast of Rec Hall on undeveloped land.

The university was loaned wagons and scrapers for the project by alumnus A. C. Reed and the team of workers led by Bellefonte, Pennsylvania builder R. B. Taylor began to clear the land.

[6][7] Once completed the team of builders began digging drainage ditches and laying water pipes for upkeep of the fields.

[12][1] As Penn State's football, soccer, and lacrosse teams began playing home games on New Beaver Field, crowds easily filled the 1,200-capacity grandstands.

For large events when more seating was necessary, temporary stands around the end zones were erected to form a complete bowl, bringing the total capacity to 20,000.

[1] As enrollments to the university and demand for tickets grew, Penn State planned to double the size of its steel grandstand seating, allowing for a total capacity of 27,720.

The renovation began in 1948 and was led by Byron J. Lambert, a grandstand patent holder and former professor at the University of Iowa; and was quickly completed by 1949.

[1] After the 1959 season, sections of the grandstand from New Beaver Field were moved to the east end of campus, half a mile from their previous location.
