Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium has been home of the Duke Blue Devils since 1929, designed by architect Horace Trumbauer. Originally named Duke stadium, it was renamed in 1967 for the legendary Wallace Wade (1892-1986) who served as head football coach and athletic director, 1931-1941 and again 1946-1950. After removal of the track in 2015, the field was named Brooks Field. The current capacity is 40,004. Most notably, on New Year‘s Day, 1942, Wallace Wade hosted the Rose Bowl. The renovations from 2014-2017 added more seating, bringing the current capacity to 40,004, and the five-story, 90,000 square foot Blue Devil Tower. Named for legendary Duke head coach Wallace Wade, who led the Blue Devils to a 110-36-7 record and two Rose Bowl appearances, the stadium is horseshoe-shaped in structure and nestled among the greenery and towering pines of the surrounding Duke forest. Originally, known as Duke Stadium, the facility opened October 5, 1929, with Pittsburgh defeating Duke in front of 25,000 spectators. In July of 1967, Duke's Board of Trustees approved the renaming of the stadium to honor Wade with the dedication September 30, 1967. The stadium's largest crowd was November 19, 1949, with 57,500 people witnessing the annual Duke-North Carolina game. The stadium also owns a special niche in college football history as one of only two facilities outside Pasadena, Calif., to host the Rose Bowl. The 1942 Rose Bowl came to Durham during World War II with Oregon State defeating Duke 20-16. In honor of that occasion, rose bushes from the Tournament of Roses Committee flank the bust of Wallace Wade at the stadium entrance. 1942 Rose Bowl - 4.24.71 The Grateful Dead - 10.08.05 The Rolling Stones

Officially dedicated and opened in April 1939, the Sarah P. Duke Gardens encompass 55 acres of meticulously designed landscapes and 5 miles of beautiful pathways. The idea for the gardens originated from Dr. Frederic M. Hanes, an early faculty member of Duke Medical School, as he frequently walked past the area on his way to work and thought the space had potential to be spectacular. He persuaded Sarah P. Duke, widow of one of the university's founders, Benjamin N. Duke, to finance the garden with a generous donation of $20,000. Initially, in 1935, over 100 flower beds were established, but heavy summer rains led to the gardens' decline. Upon Sarah P. Duke's passing in 1936, Dr. Hanes persuaded her daughter, Mary Duke Biddle, to fund the construction of a new garden as a memorial to her mother. Ellen Biddle Shipman, a prominent figure in American landscape design, was chosen to draft plans for the gardens. Despite modifications over time, the gardens remain a testament to Shipman's vision and are now celebrated as one of the finest public gardens. Divided into four distinct sections—the Historic Gardens, the H.L. Blomquist Garden of Native Plants, the W.L. Culberson Asiatic Arboretum, and the Doris Duke Center Gardens—the Sarah P. Duke Gardens continue to captivate visitors with their beauty and diversity. 1935 garden.- Sarah P.
