The courtyard that lies between the Columbus School of Law and the Pryzbyla Center once was the stadium for Catholic University. Dedicated in 1924 Killian Field played host to the CUA Cardinal Football team home games from its opening until 1985. At the time of its opening, the stadium seated 25,000. Notably, the 1935 Cardinal Team played on this field, amassing an 8-1 record. This team ended up narrowly beating Mississippi State in the Orange Bowl by a score of 20-19.
To get to the next stop on the tour, go through the Pryzbyla Building, up the stairs, and straight out the front. Follow the route around Hannan Hall and up the hill to the old machinery under the tree: the former observatory.
