The letters were sent on to Frank Wade's widow. The stadium was constructed by WPA workmen under sponsorship of the Parks Department with a seating capacity of 6,000. It was originally built in 1940-1941 at a cost of $223,000. It is sometimes called the Duluth All-Sports Stadium. It should not be confused with Public School Stadium.
