Memorial Field Seating Photos

The modified east stands at Memorial Field are being encased in cement block in the first photo. (Click photos to enlarge) The shot above (courtesy of Dartmouth) shows the stadium as it was prior to last year; In order not to block Leverone Field House, the east stands were not symmetrical with the west stands, which extend to the back of the end zone.

In the photo below the newest sections of stands, stretching from the workmen to the right, will now match up with the west stands.The last two pictures give a little better sense of how the stands in front of Leverone are being erected. The new sections will not rise quite as high as the sections in front of Floren Varsity House. (All photos except Dartmouth courtesy photo shot on June 3, 2007)
There's a Q&A with Erik Greenberg Anjou, filmaker of the Ivy League football documentary For Love & Honor on a site called Hollywoodlot; Where Movies Make Headlines. One of the Q's:
“For Love & Honor” is a documentary film about Ivy League football and American leadership. How did this project first get started and what was the inspiration behind it?
That certain Hanover High School freshman was one of the subjects of a story in Saturday's local newspaper about the fact that there were just five local girls (from more than a dozen area high schools) earning three varsity letters as a freshman. The reporter asked the certain freshman her favorite sport and she told the writer "baseball," which she obviously didn't letter in. From my days as a writer, I would have been all over that answer, but it didn't make the story. Different strokes. ...

Speaking of that Hanover frosh, she ran the Covered Bridges Half Marathon Sunday in 1:55 and change. At age 15 she was sixth in the 19-and-under group, a footprint ahead of the friend she went stride for stride with the whole way.



And finally this: If you somehow missed the minor league baseball manager who put on an unbelievable show after being ejected last week, you don't want to miss this ...
