On March 24, 1999 David Perry wrote: While the picture you have here (below) is a wonderful one, and I'm glad I got a chance to see it, it is not Wien Stadium, or even Baker Field. It is actually from the pre-1925 days, when Columbia played on campus, using temporary stands. (They did the same for baseball, by the way; Lou Gehrig played on the same spot.) The team moved to Baker Field about 1925 and played in a wooden stadium until 1982. After a year divided between Giants Stadium and Hofstra, they moved into Wien Stadium.
