The 1914 season was the first for Delaware at the newly-constructed Frazer Field, known at the time as Joe Frazer Field. The field was built at an estimated cost of $30,000 and included "a handsome memorial gate costing $5,000, in memory of Joseph Frazer." Frazer was an alumnus of Delaware College who became wealthy building a railroad in Bolivia, where he died.[2]
