The field is more well known for its place in the Manhattan Project . On December 2 , 1942 Enrico Fermi and his team set off the first Nuclear Chain Reaction at Chicago Pile-1 in a Racquets court under the west stands of the abandoned stadium. An athletic field several blocks to the northwest preserves the Stagg Field name, as well as a relocated gate from the original facility. |
