History
Ryan Field (1926) was the second football stadium constructed by the University. Designed by James Gamble Rogers, it was originally named Dyche Stadium in honor of William A. Dyche, a former Northwestern student (class of 1882), Evanston mayor, and Northwestern's business manager who oversaw its construction. The 45,000-seat stadium was renamed in 1997 for Patrick G. Ryan (class of 1959), who provided the lead gift for its renovation. Ryan Field is part of an athletic complex that includes Trienens Hall, McGaw Memorial Hall, Welsh-Ryan Arena, and Coon Sports Center.
