ICAHN STADIUM

AIR-NY-2063

Icahn Stadium is a track and field venue located on Randall's Island, in New York City, and is one of only five International Association of Athletic Federations Class 1 certified tracks in the United States (along with Hutsell-Rosen Track, Hayward Field, John McDonnell Field, and Estadio Francisco Montaner).

Icahn Stadium sits on the site of the former Downing Stadium, opened in 1936 as part of a larger New York City Parks project which included the construction of the Triborough Bridge. The opening of Downing Stadium made history as the facility hosted the U.S. Olympic Trials, at which Jesse Owens qualified for two events in the upcoming Berlin Olympics. The site went on to be home to the New York Cosmos soccer team, various sporting events and summer concerts. The stadium lights, which were taken from Ebbets Field after it was torn down, were left in place to light the new field.

Unused 4" x 6" continental size chrome.
