Decatur Stadium dedication.  September 17, 1948
In 1946 Coach Ogle raised
$100,000 to build a new stadium at the site of the new Decatur High School. He sold lifetime 50yd line seats and raised the money for the stadium. DISCO (Decatur Iron and Steel Company) supplied the steel for the West grandstands. The East stands were added later. In 1990 The Earl Webb Field House was added as the largest financial addition since 1948. In 2018 Field turf with the D logo was added with a 6-lane track for $1.7 million.
