Paving bricks from Grand Avenue were installed by masons hired by the Federal Government and were used to create the grandstand which still stands today.Wade Stadium was originally called All-Sports Stadium.
Since 1941 more than 1 million fans have attended games at Wade Stadium, although attendance figures were not kept until 1946.
