LAWRENCE STADIUM IS NOW JUST A MEMORY

ILLUSTRATION: Staff photos by MARK MITCHELL

Frank D. Lawrence Stadium was demolished last week to make way for

the new I.C. Norcom High School. Only the rubble remains. The

stadium was built in 1939. Last to come down were the 5,500-seat

football bleachers, right. The baseball portion of Lawrence Stadium

was demolished in 1992. Norcom, Wilson and Churchland will play

football games this fall at Churchland Stadium.
