Proudly I offer my alma mater (Class of '66) as another New Jersey boxing venue. Earlier known as Jersey City High School, it was used from the 1920s through the 1940s for professional and amatuer boxing. In 1977 there was a nationally televised card staged there. Among the fighters included were Ibar Arrington, Randy Neumann, Bruce Curry, Sonny Moore, and James J. Beattie.

The picture below is actually the school's athletic annex where the bouts were staged. Seating capacity was around 1,000-1,500.
