About
Meiji Jingu Gaien Stadium 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 who died as a soldier in 1943. The stadium was demolished to make room for Tokyo Olympic Stadium in 1956.
