A new place to play brings back old memories
It was not just a different time. It was, in many ways, a different game. Heidelberg hosts Muskingum today at Mayer Field, which is located next to Seiberling Gymnasium. It will be the first home game on campus in 64 years, when the football team played its games at Armstrong Field. Heidelberg has played football at Frost-Kalnow Stadium, at Columbian High School’s campus, since 1946. The team played its first two home games this season there. Armstrong Field was located behind France Hall, and a parking lot now occupies what once was home to a sport that was different in rules and execution to what football is now. When asked if he wore a face mask, Robert Booth, a 1943 Heidelberg graduate who played at the old field, responded, “I’ll give you a smile right now and show you.” Booth, who graduated from Columbian in 1939, guessed the Heidelberg football games drew an average of about 200-250 people when he was there.
