During the sale and demolition, there was a lot of talk about the fate of Memorial Field, its gates, and the American Legion's dedication plaque. However, the concession stand often got overlooked. Located on the home team side, it was built sometime in the very late 1950s. In the 1957 football season, they were still using a wooden structure for concessions, but by the 1960 season, this small brick building was in use.
A dedication plaque on the side reads: In Memory of Sidney C. Porter, Sr. of Globe Brick. Porter was born on May 28, 1891 and died on June 19, 1957. He was buried at Riverview Cemetery in East Liverpool. His son, Sidney Porter, Jr. would go on to become Vice President in charge of Operations at Globe Brick.
