Biddle Field was a gift from Judge E.W. Biddle as a memorial to his son, a 1903 graduate of Dickinson. It was modeled after the historic Franklin Field in Philadelphia. The first football game played on Biddle was on September 25, 1903. In 1912, Biddle Field hosted Carlisle’s celebration of Jim Thorpe when he returned home after his gold medal performance in the Stockholm Olympics. The complex is also the former home of the Washington Redskins summer training camp.
