 Right away, civil engineers shot down the idea of turning Haskins's property into a stadium because of the hilly terrain in the area. These engineers were proven wrong. The outside structure itself is located on what used to be a ravine. Because of this, the field was beneath ground level and the bleachers extended up onto the sides of the hills.[1] After spending thousands of dollars to remove part of the hills, a quarter mile track was dug out. Since the track was first constructed, it has undergone major transformations. It started as black cinders, was changed to red brick, then to red tartan, and is now Drake Blue tartan.[4] A new surface was added to the track in the 2005 renovation. The original seating capacity of the stadium in 1904 was 2,500[2] but numerous renovations have increased the current seating capacity to 14,557.[5]

-<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In 2005, Drake Stadium underwent its most recent and most dramatic renovation since its last major remodeling in 1925. The $15 million transformation included changing the field to turf, widening of lanes, a video scoreboard, and improvements to the restrooms, seating, concessions, and press box. After the most current renovations, the field was named <span style="background-position: 100% 50%; cursor: pointer; padding-right: 10px;">[http://www.lib.drake.edu/heritage/bright/index.php Johnny Bright]]</span> Field in honor of the Drake alum and football player of the 1940s and 50s. The <span style="cursor: pointer;">[[Jim Duncan]</span> Track is named for the well-known Drake Relays announcer. Today the field sees even more use outside of Drake athletics. Some of the events that have been held in the twenty first century include NCAA Midwest Regional Track and Field Championships in 2007 and in 2008, the NCAA Outdoor Championships. To this day, Drake Stadium is still considered one of the premier track and field facilities in the country.<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; vertical-align: super;">[5]</span></span>
