Scope and content
By July of 1941, real progress was finally being made on the new athletic amphitheater being built to the northwest of Lincoln High School, some ten years after civic groups on the south end of Tacoma started campaigning for a bowl to rival the Stadium Bowl next to Stadium H.S. It was expected that the field would be completed by September of 1941, for the beginning of the school year, but WWII stopped most work on the Lincoln Bowl, and after the war funds for further construction were hard to find. The new sports stadium was finally dedicated on Friday evening September 24, 1948 over seven years after construction began. (T. Times 7/3/1941 p.7)
