 TO THE PRESS-RADIO-TV
Here is your copy of the 1975 Kentucky Wildcats’ Football Facts Book
which we sincerely hope will aid you in the process of covering U. of K. football
during the forthcoming season. lf you desire additional information or have any
questions not answered herein, please feel free to contact the Sports Information
Office, (606) 257-3838.
WORKING TICKETS—Address requests to Sports Information Office as far in
advance as possible. After Tuesday preceding the game, tickets will not be
mailed. Pick up at the Information Window in Memorial Coliseum, except on
game days, when they will be moved to the ticket window at Commonwealth
Stadium.
COMPS—No individual game allotment.
TELECOPIERS—Two Telecopier niches, each equipped with dorm-type tele-
phones which take only collect or credit card calls, are provided in the press box
for use of out-of-town writers. A fee of $l0 will be assessed for use of a
telephone. A telephone telecopier and operator will be provided for a fee of $20.
Telephone jacks are available along press row for persons wishing to order their
own telephone installation; however, it is less expensive to use the aforemen-
tioned telephones. Please notify Sports Information in advance of your needs.

Lexington. Any additional stations must clear through the UK Director of
Broadcasting, Mr. Pete Manchikes (257-2655). Working passes will be supplied
approved stations by Sports Information Office.
TELEVISION AND MOTION PICTURES—Live television coverage prohibited
except under NCAA auspices. Accredited TV stations or newsreel agencies
permitted to make motion pictures of game action for delayed showing provided
that no more than 200 feet of highlights of any game are used. An agreement to
this effect must be executed before permission will be granted. Application
should be made to the UK Director of Broadcasting and forms may be signed for
the entire season. On request, the University Film Lab will provide TV stations

 IT WAS A GOOD YEAR
  The University of Kentucky closed the 1974 football season with its first
winning slate in nine years and put several new records on the books in the
process.
With senior quarterback Mike Fanuzzi, and juniors Sonny Collins and Steve
Campassi combining for a total of 2,504 yards, the Wildcats amassed 3,124 yards
rushing.
That beat the old record of 2,518 set by the 1973 team and set a per game
record of 284.0 yards compared to 228.2 in 1973.
Collins, who missed the final two games after receiving a broken leg in the
second quarter of the Vanderbilt game, led the team with 970 yards in 177
carries and the Southeastern Conference with 107.8 yards per game, although
Mississippi State’s Walter Packer passed him up in total yardage.
Collins set a new career mark for rushing attempts (529 against Rodger
Bird’s 397 from 1963-65) and now has a total of 4,351 career rushing yards,
which far surpasses the old record of 2,101 set by Shipwreck Kelly
(1929-30-31).
` Fanuzzi gained 909 yards in 179 carries while Campassi gained 625 yards in
128 carries. Sophomore Joe Dipre, seeing action in nine games, carried 53 times
for 242 yards and junior Bill Bartos carried 48 times for 184 yards.
The team’s total of 632 rushing plays beat the record of 592 set by the
1973 Wildcats and the 4.9 average per rush beat the 4.7 set by the 1950 squad.
The 1974 Wildcats also made 143 first downs rushing, beating the record of
136 set in 1952, and scored 31 touchdowns rushing, one more than the record
of 30 set in 1973.
Attendance for six home games in Commonwealth Stadium totaled
328,785, an average of 54,797 per game. The previous highs were 250,068 at
five games in 1973, an average of 50,136. A single game high of 56,535 was
registered at the LSU game, beating 53,224 set at the Tennessee game in 1973.
Other high attendances last year were 56,449 at the Vanderbilt game and
56,191 at the Indiana game.
John Pierce kicked two 48-yard field goals to beat the record of 46 set in
1970 by Bob Jones and tied in 1973 by Ron Steele and then beat his own record
with a 52-yarder against Florida.
Pierce also had three field goals against Vanderbilt to tie a school record set
in 1970 by Jones, who coached Pierce at Harrison County High School.
The Wildcats matched their own 25-year-old record and national record-—
several other teams also share the record—when Greg Woods, Tony Gray and
Mike Siganos each returned an interception for a touchdown against Tulane.
En route to their first winning season since the 1965 team finished 6-4, the
Wildcats defeated LSU for the first time since 1961, Florida for the first time
since 1956 and Indiana for the first time since 1919.

 COMMONWEALTH STADIUM
Commonwealth Stadium, the University of Kentucky’s football facility, is
located on an 86-acre tract on the Kentucky Experimental Station Farm grounds
south of the main campus and east of Nicholasville Road. Completed in 1973,
the concrete and steel cantilevered structure replaced Stoll Field, where Wildcat
football teams had played since their beginning. n
Constructed by Huber, Hunt & Nichols, Inc., the facility has a capacity of
50,000 sideline seats, with end zone bleachers swelling the total to 58,000. The
lower stands are so constructed that the seating can be increased to 68,000 later
when needed.
Bids for the stadium were opened in mid-July 1972 and construction began
a short while later.
The pressbox, located between the two levels on the south side of the
playing field, is serviced by two elevators and contains a main working area,
radio booths, food service areas, private booths and a camera deck extending
along the entire front of the box.
Thirty-four concession areas and 30 restrooms are located conveniently
throughout the facility. Four first aid stations with emergency health equipment
also are provided. There are four major pedestrian ramps at each corner of the
stadium and 40 ramp exits to seats.
‘ The area immediately surrounding the stadium contains 6,000 parking
‘ spaces, with half of those paved and the other half in grass with gravel driveways.
` Another 8,500 parking spaces are located within a mile, all north, of the
stadium.
I Five exits, all leading to four-lane highways, serve the facility.
The playing surface was sodded in Kentucky bluegrass in July 1973 and this
J was replaced with bermuda in 1974. A fairly new scoreboard was moved from
Stoll Field and installed with a similar scoreboard at the new stadium.
The new stadium does away with the seeming duplication of titles——Stoll
Field and McLean Stadium—that caused much confusion among the general
public and sports-writing fraternity. W
By action of the University Board of Trustrees, the general area encompass-
ing the old Wildcat playing field, located first on what is now an intramural field,
was dedicated Oct. 14, 1916, as Stoll Field in honor of the late Judge Richard C.
Stoll, prominent alumnus, trustee and benefactor of the University. Soon after
the first sections of the concrete stadium on Euclid Avenue were completed
Sept. 4, 1924, the new field site and stadium were likewise officially known as
Stoll Field.
The first attraction to be held on the new Stoll Field was a football game
with the University of Louisville Oct. 4, 1924. A gridiron clash between
Kentucky and the then-powerful Centre College team was the first game played
in the fully-completed stadium Nov. 1, 1924.
