In 1929, the residents of Portsmouth, Ohio funded a bond issue in order to build the city a football stadium that equaled those used by semi-professional squads from neighboring communities along the Ohio River. The approval of the stadium issue resulted in a modern stadium that helped Portsmouth acquire a NFL franchise.
