'''Martin Stadium''' is the primary field of [[Washington State University|Washington State University's]] [[American football]] team. It is named after [[Clarence D. Martin]], the [[governor]] of the state of [[Washington]] from [[1932]]-[[1940]] who ironically is a graduate of the school's in-state rival, the [[University of Washington]]. It was commissioned in [[1972]], two years after the previous stadium, [[Rogers Field]], was burned to the ground in a fire long believed to involve foul play.
Martin Stadium has a capacity of 37,600. Since the renovation of [[Reser Stadium]] at [[Oregon State University]], Martin Stadium has the lowest seating capacity among [[Pac-10]] football stadiums. The attendance record was set on November 15, 1997 when WSU beat [[Stanford]] in front of 40,306 fans. Despite the relatively small size of Martin Stadium, it has one of the highest ratios of seating capacity to population base at almost 1.6 seats per every citizen in the city of [[Pullman]].
