Mountaineer Bowl was begun in 1948 and completed in 1959 with the construction of the gate house at the south end of the stadium. This photograph captures W Mountain and Escalante Heights as well as the the football game in full action on the field.
By the mid-1970s WSC's Commencement was being held in Mountaineer Bowl, weather permitting. This photo appears on the cover of the 1975-76 WSC Bulletin.
