In 1952, Graham Griswold donated
US$25,000 and
lumber towards the erection of a new football stadium, complete with
grandstands. The first game that occurred at the stadium took place on October 10, 1953, with Lewis & Clark against the
Linfield Wildcats football team. It was officially named "Griswold Stadium" in 1954 after the benefactor of the construction project. In 2003, lights were installed at Griswold Stadium allowing for night games. The AstroTurf (GameDay Grass 3D brand) playing surface was purchased for the field in 2010. The school dedicated the field to former player and coach Fred Wilson that year. Located in the stadium is the Eldon Fix Track which was last resurfaced in 1999. In 2012, the grandstands were rebuilt to allow for 3,000
general admission seats and 500
VIP seats. In 1955, the Oregon state high school
cross country championships took place at Griswold Stadium. ==See also==
