The Chicago Maroons play their home games at a stadium that was named a Chicago Landmark in what year?
Chicago Maroons The Maroons are the intercollegiate sports teams of the University of Chicago. They are named after the color maroon. Team colors are maroon and gray, and the Phoenix is their mascot. They now compete in the NCAA Division III, mostly as members of the University Athletic Association. The University of Chicago helped found the Big Ten Conference in 1895; although it dropped football in 1939 (as inconsistent with its academic vision), its other teams remained members until 1946. Football returned as a club sport in 1963, as a varsity sport in 1969, and began competing independently in Division III in 1973. The school was part of the Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference from 1976 to 1987, and its football team has joined the Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference's successor, the Midwest Conference, as of the 2017 season. Stagg Field is the home stadium for the re-instated football team.
2014 Chicago Maroons football team The 2014 Chicago Maroons football team represented the University of Chicago in the 2014 NCAA Division III football season. The Maroons, having left the University Athletic Association the previous year, are playing as D-III Independents; the Maroons will be transitioning to the Southern Athletic Association next year. They are led by second year head coach Chris Wilkerson and played their home games at the 1,650 seat Stagg Field, located on the west end of campus.
