Midland Stadium On Dec. 12, 1957, the Midland Daily News headline read in big, bold type: "8,500-Seat Stadium OK'd For Working Plan." Some of that process is chronicled in photos, as is the 1987 stadium renovation. The first game was played Sept. 26, 1958, against Saginaw Arthur Hill, with a dedication ceremony at halftime of the Oct. 17 game against Alpena. The final cost was $125,000. Dr. Everett N. Luce, president of the board of education, said at the dedication that the stadium is dedicated to the youth of the community, the heritage of the future, concluding "may Midland Stadium be long remembered for the true spirit of sportsmanship." Dr. Luce then gave the symbolic key to the stadium to Bruce Groom, president of the Midland High School Student Council who said, "We will endeavor to use it wisely and respectfully at all times. ... It will always be a source of pride to us and not just a combination of wood and stone." The 1987 renovation cost $790,000 and included permanent visiting stadium seats, a new dressing room facility to accommodate visiting teams, and installation of an all-weather surface for the running tracks at both the stadium and Dow High School. The rededication was Oct. 30, 1987.

This photo accompanied the article "Midland's Football Palace Rates With Best In State" from Sept. 10, 1959. The $125,000 stadium had "the finest in lights, sod, permanent bleachers and press facilities. ... The one-side stadium is 100 yards long and 22 rows high. The concrete stands, with 4,092 permanent wooden seats, are built on an earthen bank that slopes away from the back of the stadium. A 25-foot landing atop the stadium will accommodate additional portable bleachers. With the erection of temporary seats on the opposite side of the field and in the two end zones, upwards of 10,000 fans can be accommodated."

an architect with the firm of Alden B. Dow, Inc., designed the stadium projected to cost $82,000 The original stadium plan stated "8,500 Seat Stadium OK'd". The additional 1,000 seats could be provided by wooden bleachers on the landing atop the earthen banks. Until 1987, seats on the visitor's side (opposite the pressbox) were wooden bleachers. Parkdale Elementary, Located on Eastlawn Drive next to Midland High School, Parkdale was closed during the 2009 school consolidation and the building demolished in December 2015 after asbestos abatement work in March 2015.
