Meiji Jingu Gaien Stadium
1
Meiji Jingu Gaien Stadium (明治神宮外苑競技場) was a multi-use stadium in Tokyo, Japan, that could hold up to 65,000 spectators. It was the main venue for the 1930 Far Eastern Games. During the Allied occupation of Japan, from 1945 to 1952, it was renamed Nile Kinnick Stadium by the Eighth Army in honor of the winner of the 1939 Heisman Trophy. The stadium was demolished to make room for Tokyo Olympic Stadium in 1956.
