In early spring 1974, ETSU started its largest building project ever ---  the construction of an indoor covered football stadium. In theory, it would be a multi-function building, but the design was specifically for football games.

Included was the site of the old Math Building, which was too small by that time even for just the teaching classrooms and faculty offices.
