Goodwin Stadium was a stadium in Tempe, Arizona. It hosted the Sun Devils football team until they moved to Sun Devil Stadium in 1958, as well as the team for local Tempe High School[1] until 1969. The stadium held 15,000 people at its peak and was opened in 1936. The first football game played was on Friday, October 3, 1936, when the Arizona State Teacher's College Bulldogs defeated California Institute of Technology 26–0.

The stadium was named for Garfield A. Goodwin, former mayor of Tempe, member of the Arizona State Teachers College Board of Education and receiver on the 1899 Tempe Normal School football team.[2]
