John F. Kennedy Stadium

Formerly an open-air stadium in Philadelphia

John F. Kennedy Stadium, formerly Philadelphia Municipal Stadium and Sesquicentennial Stadium, was an open-air stadium in Philadelphia that stood from 1926 to 1992. It was built of concrete, stone, and brick on a 13.5-acre (55,000 m2) tract in South Philadelphia. It was located at the east side of the far southern end of Broad Street, as part of the Sesquicentennial, at a location which is now part of the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. It was designed by the architectural firm of Simon & Simon in a classic 1920's horseshoe shape resembling Harvard Stadium, which was built in 1903. The seating enclosed a football field surrounded by a running track. Bleachers were eventually added to the open (North) end of the stadium and at its peak the facility seated in excess of 102,000 people.
