This is a walk through the 112-year history of Scott Field – more commonly known today as Davis Wade Stadium. It’s an interesting historical perspective of the stadium in which the Bulldogs play, but also a review of Mississippi State football history.
1914-1935
Mississippi A&M moved from the Hardy Athletic Field to the “New Athletic Field” in 1914. It was just a grassy area on campus to play football and run track. It wasn’t until 1920 that it was named “Scott Field” after Olympic sprinter Don Magruder Scott – who was also a football player for the Aggies (as we were known back then).
