[10] The stadium was originally built in 1909–1910 using steam shovels and sluicing to move more than 180,000 cubic yards (140,000 m3) down the edges of the gulch to create a flat playing field of 2.5 acres (10,000 m2).
Wooden molds were built to cast concrete for 31 rows of stadium seating surrounding the playfield.
