Stadium construction outlined at Tech Football Alumni Reunion

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tucker Stadium has stood tall on the Tennessee Tech campus since 1966 as countless student-athletes have taken to the Overall Field turf. The stories the facility could tell as it has hosted championships and special events, while it’s been the home of the Golden Eagles for generations.

As University President Dr. Phil Oldham took the stage last week at the Tennessee Tech Football Alumni Reunion and Golf Classic, he said the words that excited the gathered alumni at the Leslie Town Centre: “We’re building a new football stadium.”

It was official confirmation following years of planning and fundraising, all set to give the aging facility a facelift.
