Corcoran Stadium

Corcoran Stadium

Corcoran Stadium was a stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. It hosted the Xavier University Musketeers football team until the school dropped football due to financial reasons in 1973. The stadium held 15,000 people when it opened in 1929. The stadium was finally razed in 1988 after attempts to revive the program in Division III failed.

Corcoran Stadium also played host to one NFL game on October 7, 1934 when the Cincinnati Reds (NFL) took on the Chicago Cardinals. The Reds lost the match by a score of 13-0 in front of 2,500 Reds fans.

Corcoran Stadium can be seen in the 1946 classic movie The Best Years of Our Lives. In the early scenes of the movie, the returning servicemen return to their hometown (fictional "Boone City") and fly over, among other things, "Jackson High Football Stadium." If you freeze frame the movie and compare it to the picture shown here, everything matches perfectly (side roads, tennis courts, stadium configuration/appearance, etc.). The movie sequence travels from north to south, which is the opposite orientation of this picture. Boone City was reportedly modeled after Cincinnati.
