At the end of the 2006 football season, Charles Page's football stadium, Memorial Stadium, was demolished. Construction of the new Memorial Stadium started in the early winter of 2007. The field itself and bleachers were completed for the start of the 2007 football season, while the stadium facilities such as restrooms, locker rooms, and concession stands were completed midseason. The original stadium was built in 1948–1949 to replace the older Dubie Field that was located at 2nd and Washington in Sand Springs.
