NFL Stadium in The Middle of The Quarter Mile Oval
The infield of the quarter-mile dirt infield track at the Mile near the current media center was also the location of a football stadium informally known as the Dairy Bowl. It hosted the NFL's Green Bay Packers from 1934 to 1951 when the team played in Milwaukee. The 1939 NFL championship game was played here. In 1940 and 1941, the Dairy Bowl also served as the home of the Milwaukee Chiefs of the third American Football League.
The 50-yard line sat where the start-finish line is currently located.

On hill and housetop, street and marketplace,
