The Wathen FamilyJohn Bernard Wathen ran his family's distillery from 1863 until a few years before his death in 1919. He died just months before Prohibition went into effect. J.B. Wathen's grandfather came to Kentucky from Maryland in 1787. Like most of his neighbors, Henry Hudson Wathen was a farmer/distiller. It wasn't until the Civil War that whiskey-making became a major commercial venture, and J.B. Wathen and his brothers were among the most successful. In 1875, J.B. and his younger brother Nick built a large distillery in Lebanon, Kentucky. In 1899, they bought the Old Grand-Dad distillery and placed their youngest brother Nace in charge. Three of J.B.'s sons were also active in the whiskey business. The company they formed during Prohibition to consolidate existing whiskey stocks was called American Medicinal Spirits. It later became a cornerstone of National Distillers. The last of the "Whiskey Wathens" active in the business was J.B.'s son, Richard, who became an executive with National after Repeal.

It was the home of the University of Kentucky Wildcats football team. The field was in use since 1880, but the concrete stands were opened in October of 1916, and closed following the 1972 season, and was replaced by Commonwealth Stadium. Memorial Coliseum is located across the street from the site.The stadium was a two-sided concrete structure, with bleachers in both endzones. It was originally named for Judge Richard C. Stoll, a prominent alumnus. In November of 1924, the grandstands were renamed McLean Stadium in honor of Prince Innes McLean, a former center for the Wildcats who had died from injuries sustained in the 1923 Kentucky-Cincinnati game.The stadium was the home of the Wildcats during the Bear Bryant era (1946-1953), which included the team's first bowl appearance (in the 1947 Great Lakes Bowl), and the first Southeastern Conference football championship (in 1950). Bryant's coaching tenure at the predominantly basketball-savvy school is regarded as the best era in UK's football history, as they only have had one SEC championship (1976) and six bowl appearances (following the 1976, 1983, 1984, 1993, 1998 and 1999 seasons). (Indeed, the 1977 season — ironically, a season in which they neither won the conference nor received a bowl invitation — was the only other season in which the team ever posted ten wins.)The stadium's downfall was due partially to the popularity of college football in the 1960s. The location of McLean Stadium, bound by Rose Street, Euclid Avenue (now Avenue of Champions), Lexington Avenue and Patterson Drive, did not have any room for expansion. Therefore, the school decided to build a Commonwealth Stadium, located on a former farming center on campus. The last game played at the stadium was on November 11, 1972, with the Wildcats beating Vanderbilt University 14-13. The stadium was razed during the 1970s, the south end being replaced with the Singletary Center for the Arts. A field was installed in the north end, perpendicular to the old end zone, and is named Stoll Field. It is still the practice field for the UK marching band, and is also used for intramural activities. Family Guy: The Neverending Story

To the Greek Imagine my lifetime of darkness. Learning to know well each pebble wedged in an island of sand. And I would opt humbly to hold but one eye toward the swelling movement of green seas that starves me of your world of symmetry. I lay asleep fat on your berries and wine so new to me, seducing me, thinking you a friend of mine. And that was all, really that I sought as a man. Friendship is all that any man can freely ask. But I gather now that I stole it from you, and so must pay myself with blindness.
