MARTIN STADIUM HISTORY

NAME: Clarence D. Martin Stadium and Academic Center CAPACITY: 32,952

HISTORY 1892--Built as Soldier Field.

FieldTurf at WSU 1895 (November 9)--WSU defeated Idaho 10-4 in the first football game on Soldier Field. 1902--The field was renamed Rogers 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 field 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)--first artificial turf (Astroturf) was installed. 1972 (Sept. 30)--WSU met Utah in the first 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 floor of the stadium was excavated 16 feet to add 12,400 seats; the track was removed from the stadium and relocated to the Bailey Baseball 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 first 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 artificial surface was installed. 1979 (October 13)--WSU celebrated Homecoming by defeating UCLA 17-13 before a record crowd of 32,651 in the first game played in the enlarged Martin Stadium. 1990 (summer)--Installed the sand-filled 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 completed 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' offices. It also features a WSU Football heritage area and a game-day home for Gray W former letter winners.

2 Washington State | 2015 COUGAR FOOTBALL

Martin Stadium, home of Cougar Football, and the adjacent

Rogers Field, WSU's practice facility, both received updated FieldTurf this past summer. During the summer of 2014, FieldTurf installed its latest product in both facilities, putting down FieldTurf Revolution Fiber, the same surface used by the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field, the New England Patriots, Ohio State and Notre Dame. The surfaces of both facilities feature the iconic Cougar logo at midfield along with crimson end zones. In 2000 WSU became just the second NCAA Division I team to install the latest innovation in artificial playing surfaces.
