Temple Stadium, Football stadium in West Oak Lane, Philadelphia, United States
Temple Stadium stands on a 32-acre site between Cheltenham Avenue, Vernon Road, Michener Avenue, and Mt Pleasant Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The construction of Temple Stadium began in February 1928 after Temple University purchased 12 acres of land for $75,000 to develop athletic facilities.
The stadium served as a gathering place for large community events, including Easter sunrise services that attracted more than 75,000 people in 1935.
The horseshoe-shaped stadium provided seating for 20,000 spectators, with additional mobile seating that increased the capacity to 34,200 people.
The Philadelphia Eagles held their training camps at Temple Stadium in 1936 and 1937, and considered purchasing the facility in 1952.
