Sanford Stadium has grown up a lot in its 88 year history. At first it was just the two stands on each side built on a hill. Then it was “double-decked” in the 1960’s. In the 1980’s the west end zone was enclosed.
Eventually permanent stands were added to he east side. But instead of building the upper deck in that end zone, the stands were built shorter than rest of the bottom deck. The reasoning was to give people in the stadium a look at the campus, and vice versa.
Since the east end zone stands were added, the Stadium has not stopped growing.
