First NFL Game

Local Filmmaker to make “Triangle Park” Feature Film on the NFL’s First-Ever Game

September 29, 2020 By Lisa Grigsby

Allen Farst, founder of Niche Productions, is ecstatic to announce today that work has begun on his new project, “Triangle Park,” an upcoming feature film that celebrates the centennial of the National Football League’s first-ever game, played in Dayton, Ohio.

The film will send spectators back in time to experience October 3, 1920, when the hometown Dayton Triangles kicked off league history with a 14-0 victory over the Columbus Panhandles. The contest was played in front of 5,000 fans at Dayton’s now-historic Triangle Park.

Farst plans to shed a light on the largely unknown story of how Dayton emerged as one of the 13 original NFL teams. It’s an enthralling journey that showcases how the city overcame the Great Dayton Flood and experienced an industrial boom just prior to the league getting under way. Football fan or not, moviegoers will be treated to a fascinating piece of Gem City history.

This is one of the greatest stories that needs to be told from the Dayton area. I’m excited to write and direct something that will represent the community the way it should be,” Farst said

Fans can go to triangleparkmovie.com and support the film. “We are hoping to be the All-time highest-funded project in Kickstarter history!” Farst said. “Hopefully, people will help us support Triangle Park in a big way.”

Triangle Park will be Licensing exclusive photos, programs, documents and film from the Pro Football Hall of Fame and archival footage from NFL Films.

Production will begin in 2021, with the movie scheduled to be released sometime in 2022.  A kickstarter campaign to help fund the film will be launched laster this week.  Join the email list for more info.

98th Anniversary of First NFL Game

October 3, 2018 By Dayton Most Metro

Did you know that the very first was held right here in Dayton in 1920 in a Triangle Park stadium that could hold 5000 people?

On Oct 3, 1920 4,000 people paid $1.75 for admission to watch the hometown Dayton Triangles defeat the Columbus Panhandles 14-0. The land for the park had been donated by Edward Deeds and Charles Kettering, the teams sponsors.

In 2005 The Pro Football Hall of Fame took part in a special ceremony recognizing the site of the National Football League’s first game.  Jason Aikens, the Hall’s Collections Curator, was one of several featured speakers for the unveiling of a new Ohio Historical Society’s historical marker in Triangle Park in Dayton, Ohio.
