[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 951830, member: 2957"] “The historical significance of the Grant Field name, though, should not be understated amidst the news. Though football has been played on the site since 1905, the stadium as we know it today began to take shape from 1913, when grandstands were built; it became the full-time home of Tech football for the 1912 season. John Grant, a member of the Tech Board of Trustees and prominent Atlanta mogul, was the benefactor of the facility. Grant dedicated his gift in honor of his deceased son Hugh Inman Grant, who died at the age of 11 in 1906. Grant Field predates most campus buildings, with just the Hill older than the facility.” ”$15,000 in 1912 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $470,299.48 today, an increase of $455,299.48 over 111 years.“ Not an insignificant gift to honor one’s dead son and a school he admired.
