Taking a Step Back in Time

When Rynearson Stadium opened in 1969 (almost two months after I was born), one chapter in Eastern Michigan sports history was closed and another one opened. Prior to moving off campus, Eastern Michigan used to play on campus. Based on the record, they played fairly well too.

With other blogs looking to the future, I figured this might be a good time to look at the past. Well, Eastern Michigan’s past anyway.

Currently named Briggs Hall and hosting part of the Eastern Michigan art department, back in the day this used to be the gate to Briggs Field (not that one but related).
