Publisher's Synopsis
In 1938, residents of Eugene, Oregon, faced twenty-five percent unemployment. In spite of that, the entire community rose up and built Civic Stadium, the town's biggest WPA project. From the heroics of the first muddy football game, to the popular Lumbermen's baseball teams, to Eugene's participation in the historic Pacific Coast League, this story ends with the placement of the stadium on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
