Albuquerque Milne Stadium at 1200 Hazeldine Ave SE was built by the WPA in
1939[1,2].
In 1922 Lincoln High School was built and a rudimentary field was developed
on site, called Lincoln Athletic Field. In 1939 the Works Progress
Administration (WPA) upgraded the stadium and it was officially renamed
'Public Schools Stadium' later that year. It was renamed Milne stadium in
1957 upon the death of School Superintendent John Milne.[4]
