From the September 27, 2015, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1965. "Ancient Glidden Field (where the NIU Art Building is now located), the scene of Northern Illinois University football since 1899 will be reactivated tomorrow when the Huskies open their schedule. Placed in mothballs last fall, the 8,500-seat field will begin its 66th year of use, then before the campaign ends it will again be retired in favor of a new 22,500 seat stadium on West Campus."
The reason was because the new stadium was not yet completed.
Go Huskies!! --CooterDog
