***I'll try to get by there to see if I can find a plaque; however I remember it being pretty tightly secured when not in use.

*I found an October 1, 1997 article in the Birmingham News (via JCLC) by Lori Chandler ("Homewood Schools to borrow $2.9 million") that referenced (amongst other projects) renovations to Waldrop Stadium; however I didn't find any other articles stating that the renovations had been completed, so I didn't use the reference.

**I don't think I've been been back to Waldrop since high school, so I can't help a lot. I can tell, however, just from the Google Maps satellite view that there have been improvements made since then. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 13:34, 11 March 2008 (PDT) | |||

Year constructed?
- I can't find any sources at all on the year it was constructed. Our Robert Waldrop article states that it was named for him in 1976, and while I am pretty sure that is when it was built, I left that part out. Summe's Homewood only mentions that HHS named their on-site baseball field for Waldrop, and doesn't mention Waldrop Stadium or any football venue at all. --Wheresdib 10:50, 11 March 2008 (PDT)
