Drake Field, Football stadium in Auburn, Alabama.
Drake Field featured a natural grass surface and bleacher seating arrangements with a total capacity of 7,550 spectators across its grounds.
Named after college physician John Hodges Drake III, the stadium opened on October 7, 1911, with Auburn's football team securing a 29-0 victory against Mercer.
The stadium served as a central venue for both Auburn University Tigers and Auburn High School Tigers football teams, strengthening local sports connections.
The field provided space for multiple sports, including football and baseball events, until the construction of specialized facilities in subsequent decades.
Drake Field remained active until the late 1960s, when its location became the site of the current Auburn University student union building.
