Farrington Field
1501 University Drive - 1939
This 20,000 seat public school district stadium for football and track
was designed by Preston M. Geren. General Construction Co. of Fort
Worth was the contractor. The facility is Art Deco styled and
was named in memory of E.S. Farrington, a long time superintendent of the
Fort Worth Independent School District. The west grandstand facade
fronting on University Drive features a monumental central bay. The
columns are fluted and the capitals have stars on them. There are also
panels that depict athletes. Additional Art Deco detailing can be
found in the ticket booths and on the concrete piers of the decorative fence
that encircle the facility. |
