WINNETKA TALK October 15::1927 Dyche Stadium Combines Conveniences for Player and Spectator The wide sweep of seats from tower to tower is well brought our in the upper picture of the west stand. The lower picture is a section of the west stand looking down from the south tower, with the press box at the up- per left. At the right is a pano- ramic view of the stadium. Characteristic of the stadium are the arches at the rear of the west stand. Within the double row of arches rise the gradually inclined pathways which lead the crowd to or from their seats. Football isu't the only sport provided for at the stadium. Beneath the stands is a complete and com- modious handball court (left). Beef and muscle are not all thar are needed for a championship team. 'Skull practice'" is held regularly in this lecture room (right) in the interior of the stadium. Newspaper men covering games at Dyche stadium have a point of vantage directly above the 50 yard line at the top of the west stand. They work in quarters (upper pic- ture) which are a model of comfort and convenience and are protected from weather by roof, walls and wide panes of glass. The lower picture is a view ac-oss the stadium from the top of the east stand. When the boys are sent to the showers from the Dyche field, here is where they go (pictured at left). Shower rooms, lockers and dressing rooms are about as complete as can be im- agined.
