This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 173.89.130.176 (talk) at 04:22, 17 February 2014 (The entry identified Corcoran Stadium as the stadium that appeared in the aerial scenes in the film "Best Years of Our Lives." That is incorrect. The stadium seen in the film is the one at Walnut Hills High School, and it still stands today.).

Corcoran Stadium was a stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. It hosted the Xavier University Musketeers football team until the school dropped football due to financial reasons in 1973. The stadium held 15,000 people when it opened in 1929. The stadium was finally razed in 1988 after attempts to revive the program in Division III failed.

Corcoran Stadium also played host to one NFL game on October 7, 1934 when the Cincinnati Reds (NFL) took on the Chicago Cardinals. The Reds lost the match by a score of 13-0 in front of 2,500 Reds fans.

Though some believe that this is the stadium seen in the early part of the film, "Best Years of Our Lives," it is not.
