Duke University
After a horrible year of false accusations against their Men's Lacrosse team, the Duke students are back and again allowed to tailgate and a great tradition of Duke football is back on a path of growth.

In
July of 1967, Duke's Board of Trustees approved the renaming of the stadium to
honor Wade, who coached the Devils to a 110-36-7 record and two Rose Bowls. The
dedication took place Sept. 30, 1967. The
stadium is most notable for being the site of the '42 Rose Bowl game. Duke
had won the invitation to the game as the eastern representative for the second
straight year. However, with the attacks on Pearl Harbor coming just weeks after
the end of the 1941 season, travel restrictions were placed on the West Coast,
thus meaning not only could the Rose Bowl not host the game, but neither could
the Oregon State Beavers. The Rose Bowl committee originally planned
to cancel the game, but the University invited the game and Oregon State to
Durham to play the game. The offer was accepted, and on a cold, rainy January 1,
1942, 55,000 fans watched Duke play in their second Rose Bowl, the only
time the game has been played outside of Pasadena.
