Description
Originally known as East High Stadium, what is now Holland Stadium was constructed as a New Deal project undertaken during the Great Depression. Construction on the facility, which lies behind what is now known as Auburn Junior High School, occurred in 1936; football games have been played there ever since.
The federal Public Works Administration (P.W.A.) supplied a $48,056 grant for the project, whose total cost was $110,336.
