Martin Stadium and Academic Center CAPACITY: 32,952 HISTORY 1892—Built as Soldier Field. FieldTurf1895 (November 9)—WSU defeated Idaho 10-4 in the fi rst football game on Soldier Field. 1902—The fi eld was renamed atRogers WSU Field in honor of the Governor of the State of Washington, John R. Rogers. 1936—Washington State College built a completely new football stadium, but retained the same name; the new stadium was an all-wood structure built on concrete pilings. The fi eld also featured new stands, an enlarged press box and an electronic scoreboard. 1970 (April)—Fire destroyed the south stands; a one-million dollar fund drive began after the decision was made to rebuild the stands rather than relocate or build an entirely new stadium; Dan Martin, a Los Angeles businessman, gave $250,000 to the project with the stipulation the stadium be renamed after his father, Clarence D. Martin. Clarence Martin was Governor of the State from 1933-40. 1972 (summer)—fi rst artifi cial turf (Astroturf) was installed. 1972 (Sept. 30)—WSU met Utah in the fi rst game played in refurbished Martin Stadium; 1975—New north (student) stands were built. 1978 (fall)—Work began on the academic portion of the complex on the south side with the computer center relocating to the complex upon completion of the project in 1979. 1979 (January)—Another renovation of the stadium began to increase the seating capacity from 27,600 to 40,000; the fl oor of the stadium was excavated 16 feet to add 12,400 seats; the track was removed from the stadium and relocated to the Bailey Base- ball Stadium area directly north of the football complex, while a new baseball stadium was then built just south and east of Friel Court, home of Cougar basketball; the entire project, like the one in 1970, was funded through contributions; gift-in-kind and the purchase of “stadium builder’’ seat options; it marked the fi rst time a collegiate football stadium had been enlarged by digging down rather than building up; the project was also funded in part by the Martin family, with Charlotte Martin, widow of Dan Martin, giving $250,000 to the project; a SuperTurf artifi cial surface was installed. 1979 (October 13)—WSU celebrated Homecoming by defeating UCLA 17-13 before a record crowd of 32,651 in the fi rst game played in the enlarged Martin Stadium. 1990 (summer)—Installed the sand-fi lled Omni-Turf playing surface. 2000 (summer)—Installed FieldTurf in Martin Stadium and on Rogers Field. 2006 —Current stadium renovation began. 2006 (summer)—Replaced FieldTurf in Martin Stadium. 2008 —Phase I and II completed. 2012 (summer) —The $80 million Cougar Football Project, which began in Nov., 2011, replaces the old press box on the south stands with a new structure that includes a new press box, club seats, loge boxes, luxury suites and a club room. 2013 (summer) —A $3.5 million scoreboard is added to the east end of Martin Stadium. 2014 (summer) — Construction began on the $61 million, 84,000-square-foot Cougar Football Complex in winter, 2013 and com- pleted in summer, 2014. The facility provides a home for the Cougar football program, including new weight room, lockers, equipment and training rooms for players, in addition to position meeting rooms and coaches’ offi ces. It also features a WSU Football heritage area and a game-day home for Gray W former letter winners. 2 MARTIN STADIUM attendance 40,306 11-15-97 WSU 38, Stanford 28 40,000 10-17-81 WSU 17, UCLA 17 40,000 11-20-82 WSU 24, UW 20 40,000 11-17-84 UW 38, WSU 29 40,000 11-22-86 UW 44, WSU 23 40,000 11-19-88 WSU 32, UW 31 38,434 9-30-89 USC 18, WSU 17 37,600 11-23-96 UW 31, WSU 24 (OT) Martin Stadium, home of Cougar Football, and the adjacent 37,600 11-17-90 UW 55, WSU 10 37,600 11-21-92 WSU 42, UW 23 Rogers Field, WSU’s practice facility, both received updated FieldTurf this 37,600 10-8-94 WSU 21, Oregon 7 past summer.
