Dartmouth Big Green (Ivy League) (1893; 1923-present)

Memorial Field is a football stadium located in Hanover, New Hampshire, USA. It is the home of Dartmouth College's Big Green football and outdoor track teams. The athletic teams at Dartmouth College compete in the Ivy League.

In 1893, Dartmouth alumni built a football field called Alumni Oval in the southeastern part of the campus. The field's original wooden grandstand, which backed up on Crosby Street, burned in 1911. In 1923, the College built Memorial Field, with a brick-faced concrete stand and pressbox on Crosby Street. The stadium opened as a memorial to the students and alumni who had served and died in World War I. Permanent stands on the east side of the field were built later, and endzone bleachers have also been used.
