The East Tennessee State Department of Intercollegiate Athletics held two tours of the nearly finished ETSU Football Stadium last Thursday.
The tours, which were free and open to the general public, were held at noon and 5 p.m. A large number of fans enjoyed each tour hosted by Scott Carter, ETSU Athletic Dept. Senior Associate Athletic Director/COO.
Finishing touches of construction are in progress on the facility as crews work hard to complete the build before the first kickoff. The season opener of 2017 season is Saturday, Sept. 2 when the Buccaneers host Limestone at 7 p.m. inside the new stadium.
