Also Known As: Ingalls Park.

Named For: Ingalls Field was given to the College in 1889 by John G. Ingalls, an 1876 Ripon College graduate.

Location: Next to St. Wenceslas Church on East Fond du Lac Street.

Present and Former Uses: Ingalls Field is used for both Ripon High School and Ripon College student athletic events, particularly football and track competitions.

Remarks: In 1930, Athenian Hall was moved to Ingalls Field to be used as a fieldhouse. It was razed upon refurbishing of Ingalls Field in January 1983.

Alterations: Ingall's field got a new press box, field lights, concession stand and ticket booth thanks to nearly three hundred volunteers who pitched in to make the improvements happen.  They also rewired the field and re-built the visitor's side bleachers.

Razed or Sold: In 1939, the College sold Ingalls Field to the City of Ripon with the understanding that the College would still have the right to use it for athletic competitions.
