Crump Stadium is a sports stadium in Memphis, Tennessee, built in 1934 and significantly downsized in 2006.^[1] It was built as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project with a capacity of 7,500. In 1939 it was enlarged to hold 25,000 spectators. In 1948 and 1949 it staged the Delta Bowl, a college football bowl game. In 1947 the Arkansas–Texas football game was played there. The annual Ole Miss–Tennessee game was also held there in the 1960s. Memphis State University (now University of Memphis) home football games were played there until the completion of Memphis Memorial Stadium (now Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium) in 1965. The stadium was named for the late Memphis political boss E. H. Crump. It is now home to Central High School.
