Taylor Stadium (Lehigh)

[1][2][3][4] The stadium would be used by the Lehigh Engineers football, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, and track and field teams as their primary venue.

The last game to be played at Taylor was the frigid 123rd meeting of Le-Laf with the Lehigh Engineers overcoming the -20º windchill and the Lafayette Leopards 17-10.

[3] Due to the fact it was a short walk from anywhere on campus, every game at Taylor was sold out as both Lehigh students and Bethlehem residents often filled the stadium beyond capacity.

Additionally, the bleachers at Taylor where right behind the players benches allowing fans to be as close as possible to the field while at Goodman there is a large separation between the two.

Lastly, the decision to demolish the stadium in the first place was not well received by the student body and attendance to football games dropped dramatically which wasn't helped by the fact Goodman stadium requires driving or taking a bus to get to and from Asa Packer campus.
