Stagg Field, located at the University of Chicago, was originally a football stadium named after legendary coach Amos Alonzo Stagg. It served as the home of the university’s football team until the program was discontinued in 1939. While the stadium itself was demolished in 1957, Stagg Field is most famous for its role in history during World War II.

On December 2, 1942, beneath the stadium’s west stands, physicist Enrico Fermi and his team conducted the world’s first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction as part of the Manhattan Project. This groundbreaking experiment marked the beginning of the atomic age.

The University of Chicago, founded in 1890, is one of the world's leading research institutions. Known for its rigorous academics and influential faculty, the university has made significant contributions in physics, economics, and law. Today, the site of Stagg Field is commemorated by the Henry Moore sculpture "Nuclear Energy," honoring its pivotal role in scientific history.
