The team played its home games at the newly-constructed Loyola Stadium, located on the school's campus in Rogers Park. The stadium was dedicated on October 12, 1939, prior to a game against Coe College.[2][3] The field was built at a cost of $25,000, and the stands on the west side of the field cost $60,000. The seating capacity was 10,000.[1]

Daniel J. Lamont was the team's head coach and the school's athletic director.[2][4] Key players included halfbacks Marty Griffen and Les Malloy (sometimes spelled Molloy) and fullback Tommy Flynn. Quarterback Corny Collins was the captain.[5][4]
