Goldsmith-Schiffman Field

Goldsmith-Schiffman Field is a multi-purpose stadium in Huntsville, Alabama. It is used mainly for high school football, but it is also home to the Alabama Renegades of the National Women's Football Association.

History

On January 25, 1934, Oscar Goldsmith, Lawrence B. Goldsmith, Annie Schiffman Goldsmith, Robert L. Schiffman, and Elsie Strauss Schiffman gave the property to the city for an athletic field. The Civil Works Administration provided $6500 in materials and labor to construct the field, the first in Huntsville to accommodate night athletic games. The field was dedicated during the first night game on October 4, 1934, when 1000 fans saw Coach Milton Frank's Huntsville High team defeat Gadsden High.
