Wasn't Kyle Field established in 1904 ? I know the concrete stadium was built in 27 and that's the date they give for when established...but we've been playing football in the same spot since 04 right? When do we say Kyle field was Kyle field?
The history of Kyle Field is not straightforward. This TexAgs post lays it out in detail:
Early Evolution of Kyle FieldSummary: the area that currently comprises Kyle Field and the A parking lot was fenced off in 1905 for use by the athletic teams. The first football field was laid out in an East West fashion, perpendicular to, and just west of, the current location of Kyle Field. The football field was moved over to its present location (give or take six yards, when the field was move slightly south in 2014) in 1915.
