Grant Stadium is now Soldier Field!!
Hey Thanks one and all for help and your appreciation.
Smokeless, You really hit it big with your info that Soldier Field was originally Grant Field...I didn't know that!!
Hal Kaplan, Now that's a very interesting aspect....So if the try-outs were in June 1905 and the games in April 06' that would have given the United States Olympic committee about ten months to select, organize and train the team...that sounds about right. And now that you bring up the procession cycle, I suppose there may have been other try-out sites in different regions of the country. Thanks very much, I hadn't considered the time frame until you mentioned it, and the 1905 makes sense.
