Content Description

Materials gathered together (photocopies) regarding the history and development of city-owned land formerly occupied by the La Crosse Interstate Fair and then transferred or sold to the UW Board of Regents. A controversy erupted when UWL renamed the stadium after a former football coach, thus discarding the name Memorial Field or Veteran's Memorial Playfield. Included with the research materials is a summarized history written by Doering in 2003. This material was sent to the City Attorney's Office in 2003 and returned to the Library in 2005. Original Council resolutions were refiled in La Crosse Series 17.
