Knoles Field
Amos Alonzo Stagg gave a portion of a 22-acre piece of land he purchased west of the site of the former Baxter Stadium to Pacific. His stipulation was that a field developed on the site be named Knoles Field after President Tully C. Knoles. The bleachers for Pacific Stadium were to be constructed on a dirt embankment. Although the University had approval from the Corp of Engineers to dredge the Calaveras River for this soil, an untimely rain and high tide neccessitated a change in plans. Soil from the site of the field was used instead, thus the present sunken field.
