Stagg Field
Amos Alonzo Stagg Field
is the name of two different
football
fields for the
University of Chicago
. The earliest Stagg Field (1893-1957) is probably best remembered for its role in a landmark scientific achievement by
Enrico Fermi
during the
Manhattan Project
. The site of the first nuclear reaction received designation as a
National Historic Landmark
on February 18, 1965. On October 15, 1966, which is the day that the
National Historic Preservation Act of 1966
was enacted creating the
National Register of Historic Places
, it was added to that as well. The site was named a
Chicago Landmark
on October 27, 1971. A
Henry Moore
sculpture,
Nuclear Energy
, in a small quadrangle commemorates the location of the nuclear experiment.
