The school's football field was at one time the home of the Tonawanda Kardex, a professional football team, which achieved fame by playing in just one game as a member of the National Football League in 1921. The Kardex would sometimes draw up to 3,500 fans for a game.[4] However, NFL records list the nonexistent "Lumbermen Stadium" as the team's home field.
