Landscape Mystery, circa late 1980s

I’ve had a very, very long day and one of the most curious pieces of it was the discovery in the HMRC of these shots from the WoodAllen Collection, ostensibly of the Med Center but clearly showing the Main and University corner of campus. I’m not totally sure of the date–somewhere late 80s to mid-90s seems likely–but what in the heck is going on in the area next to the old stadium??

Here’s a closer look at it. Does anyone know why it was mown in this fashion?
