It was decided $25,000 was needed to construct the complex. After a fund raising drive, $25,730 was raised from 1,500 individuals and 227 businesses. It was dedicated on September 21, 1949. The Pirates beat Cherry Point in the first game 24–0. It was located on the east side of the Main Campus approximately where the Brewster Building is today.[2]
