DOWNTOWN BRIEFS
Did you know the year 1890 marked the first intercollegiate football game at KU? However, the team did not hold its games on the KU campus. Instead, they were played on the Massachusetts Street grounds - now known as South Park, and beyond, extending from 12th to 14th Streets of Massachusetts. The first home game was played on December 8th on the Massachusetts Street Field against Baker University of Baldwin City. KU won kum 14 to 12. According to the then Lawrence Journal, "Five hundred university students burst over the ropes, pushed across the field, lifted Coleman on their shoulders and bore him off in trump. It was the most brilliant, the most exciting contest that ever occurred on Kansas soil. The cheers and noise from several hundred tinnos was deafening. But above all the other sounds, Rock chalk Jayhawk KU could be heard strong and clear." That evening students met at Central Park, now known as Watson Park, for the first bonfire of conquest in KU's football history. Information gleaned from "Across the Years on Mount Oread-Robert Taft; & courtesy of Elizabeth M. Watkins Community Museum.
