There was an attempt in 1965 to build a 44,000 seat football stadium on campus, at the site where Drake Stadium eventually was built. It would have been the new home of UCLA Bruins football, the team would have moved out of the Los Angeles Coliseum. However, the proposal was blocked by influential area residents, as well as other politicians. Although the football stadium never became a reality, there have been UCLA Bruin football scrimmage games played in the stadium. The field at Drake Stadium is named for UCLA alumnus Frank Marshall, a film producer.
