OHIO STADIUM, a huge, concrete, horseshoe-shaped structure, is at the west end of 17th Avenue with its main entrance at the north, approached from Woodruff Avenue. The two decks of the stadium have a permanent seating capacity of 63,000, but many thousands of spectators are accommodated on temporary seats for outstanding football games. The maximum attendance for one game exceeded 92,000. University architects, headed by Howard Dwight Smith, designed the stadium, which was completed in 1922. With its approaches and auxiliary facilities, the plant cost $1,500,000. ---Ohio: The Ohio Guide, 1940
