Northwestern Field was a football stadium in Evanston, Illinois.

[1] Northwestern Field was located on Central Ave, seventy-five feet east of the current stadium.

[2] After significant victories during the 1903 season drew large crowds,[3] Northwestern business manager and former Evanston mayor William Dyche lobbied the school for a new stadium, arguing that 1,000-seat Sheppard Field could no longer meet popular demand.

A 12-acre (49,000 m2) lot northwest of campus was chosen for the project, with construction beginning in 1904 and ending in 1905.
