The football field was snugly surrounded by a wooden track with steeply-banked ends,[3] which cut sharply into the end zones and reduced them to just five yards in depth. During football games, temporary seating was permitted on the straight-away portion of the track, which was so close to the field that players, after being tackled, often found themselves in the stands. In 1930 floodlights were installed at the stadium for night games, and the Steam Roller became the first NFL team to host a game under lights.[1] The Cycledrome had a capacity of 10,000 spectators.[1] The Cycledrome was located off of North Main Street, near the Providence-Pawtucket line. In its later years, the Cycledrome was the location of the E.M. Loewe's drive-in theater.[4] The site is now home to a Shaw's Supermarket and a Peter Pan Bus Terminal.[5][6] Notes1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://www.profootballhof.com/history/decades/1920s/providence.aspx |title=History: Providence Steam Roller |publisher=Pro Football Hall of Fame |accessdate=January 6, 2012}} 2. ^This reference erroneously calls it the "Cyclodome." 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.artinruins.com/arch/?id=historical&pr=cyclodome#top5 |title=Providence Cycledrome |publisher=Rhode Island Art In Ruins |page=5 |accessdate=January 6, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Leddy|first=Bob|title=Class of '33 at La Salle Academy turns back the clock every month|newspaper=Journal-Bulletin|date=April 16, 1986}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Steamroller football champs to be honored|newspaper=Providence Journal|date=October 13, 1989}} 6. ^{{cite news|last=Reynolds|first=Bill|title=Providence wore NFL crown in '28|newspaper=Providence Journal - Bulletin|date=January 21, 1997}} References{{reflist}}{{coord missing|Rhode Island}}{{Providence Steam Roller}}{{Defunct NFL stadiums}}{{RhodeIsland-sports-venue-stub|Providence=y}}{{ProvidenceRI-struct-stub}} 11 : Defunct American football venues|Defunct sports venues in Rhode Island|Defunct National Football League venues|Buildings and structures in Providence, Rhode Island|Sports venues demolished in 1938|Sports venues completed in 1925|1925 establishments in Rhode Island|1937 disestablishments in Rhode Island|American football venues in Rhode Island|Velodromes in the United States|Demolished sports venues in the United States |
