    No - it was built with federal grant money, but it wasn't funded by the WPA.

    Another reminder that time ages everything.
    Absolutely. A lot can happen in 37 years.

    Shoot - I had to go through several scans of the same card just to find one that showed the Jamestown defenders helmet clearly enough.

    I saw this posted elsewhere and a couple people were trying to figure out what game it was, since it was Jamestown I thought I'd share. I believe MSU, SMSU, and now Jamestown are the only NSIC programs to have their likeness featured on a card - I'd love to know of more if there are any.

    Oh - gotcha. Makes perfect sense.

    See Stanger’s comment about building, and also the different in photo quality/technology makes a difference in color/look. Definitely at Chadron. Nice find on the card.

    Further confirmation: Compare the building in the background on the card to the building in my screenshot here behind the light pole.

    The two teams also played in 1989....in Jamestown. Probably a home-and-home.

    Good point on the jerseys. What threw me off is the building in the background - Jamestown doesn't have anything like that by their football field and it only vaguely resembles the one across from Chadron's field. But it's also a 37 year old photo, so maybe they remodeled since. Probably likely, in fact.

    I was going to reach out to Don again and see if he'd sign a copy for me - might be cool to track down #3 and ask him to do the same.

    As for the game location - I want to say Chadron as the building vaguely resembles Miller Hall, but I can't tell. Anyone have any info on where the game happened and a Jamestown roster I can reference?
