Over the years, a number of plans have been submitted to provide permanent athletic facilities on the campus. Here are some previously published designs: 1. Memorial Stadium (circa 1921) Present site: Rafik B. Hariri Hall 37th and 0 Streets, N.W. Proposed: ~1925 Turf: Grass Capacity: 25,000  The most ambitious of Georgetown's athletics plans of the 1920's involved the construction of a 25,000 seat amphitheater for football games and a 7,000 seat gymnasium modeled on The Palestra in Philadelphia. Neither were funded. (Photo Credit: Georgetown College Journal) 2. Multi-Sport Facility (2001) Present site: Multi-Sport Field 37th and 0 Streets, N.W. Turf: SuperTurf Capacity: 4,500  One of the first published designs for the MSF, described in the 2002 football media guide as "the most significant undertaking in the history of Georgetown Athletics." 2. Multi-Sport Facility (2002)  
 A variation on the above design provided for a dedicated press box and sample drawings of the fan entrance and club seating were also circulated. 2. Multi-Sport Facility (2003)  One design, perhaps based on the one above, remains the most visually appealing, even if the cost wasn't. 2. Multi-Sport Facility (2004)   The 2004 football media guide announced this design had been approved by the Georgetown board of directors. 2. Multi-Sport Facility (2008)    Another revision to the MSF was published online in 2008, dropping the double-deck seating and "Gothic portals" previously proposed and considering simple bleachers instead of dedicated seating.
