After significant victories during the 1903 season drew large crowds, 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 -acre ( m2) lot northwest of campus was chosen for the project, with construction beginning in 1904 and ending in 1905.
