STOLL FIELD/McLEAN STADIUM Stoll Field/McLean Stadium was the first home for Kentucky football. The stadium was located adjacent to Memorial Coliseum and served as UK's football home since 1916. The University Board of Trustees voted to name the playing field "Stoll Field" and the actual grandstand structures as "McLean Stadium," thus the often confusing double names. Stoll Field was named in honor of the late Judge Richard C. Stoll, a prominent alumnus, trustee and benefactor of UK. Stoll Field was dedicated on Oct. 14, 1916. McLean Stadium was dedicated on Nov. 1, 1924, in memory of Price Innes McLean, a regular center on the 1923 UK squad who died as a result of injuries sustained in the Kentucky-Cincinnati game on Nov. 6, 1923. The final seating capacity of Stoll Field/McLean Stadium was 37,000 during its last year of use, 1972.
