All of the sources I've found put the stadium begginning at 1913. Maybe that was the year the first professional game was played there? Or perhaps this is some kind of precursor phase to the stadium construction (it doesn't have the lights the stadium was known for). Hmm. Cliffe Fnarf: I was wondering that.

What I'm wondering about is how this photo shows a game from 1907, if the stadium wasn't built until 1913 as your text suggests.

I noticed the legless floating guy too before reading the two preceeding comments. Seems strange since you can see the shadows of the people where his legs should be, so does not appear to be a torn corner of the picture. It appears he was somehow superimposed on the actual picture -- an early example of Photoshopping perhaps? Maybe it is the photographer insterting himself in the picture after the fact a la notable painters of historic scenes? Too funny!
