conservativeman633 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Does anyone know what they called the DuBois stadium on the Blvd. before it was named "Mansell" ?? It was dedicated in 1930, but did it have a special name? I appreciated any help ! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaman Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Made a call to somebody who's Uncle played in the 50's. They think it was called "Beaver Stadium". I was thinking on the lines of Dubois Vo tech Stadium since the school was in the stadium. They also thought stadium was originally built by the government Civilian Conservation Corp. Hopefully thats accurate and helpful. conservativeman633 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 1940s-50s the local paper nicknamed it the "Beaver Bowl"...……. Will keep searching.....appreciate your help ! jaman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an article from the 1950's. It was a football all star game at "Beaver Stadium" Dubois Pa. Go to Dubois Courier Express Archives November 15, 1950 pg 2. I beleive you will get your answer. I ran out of the 4 free searches I got before I could access this without subscription. I enjoy local sports history. conservativeman633 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
