Kyle Field started with just a grandstand. We didn't have a stadium until 1927.

From Wikipedia
quote:
Davis Wade Stadium, officially known as Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field, is the home playing venue for the Mississippi State Bulldogs football team. Located in Starkville, Mississippi, the stadium has a capacity of 61,337 and is the largest football stadium in the state of Mississippi. Originally constructed in 1914 as New Athletic Field, it is the second-oldest stadium in the Football Bowl Subdivision and the fourth oldest in college football, behind Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium, the Yale Bowl, and Harvard Stadium.
