Tucker Stadium

Tucker Stadium is a football venue at Tennessee Tech University with a synthetic field and metal bleacher seating arranged in 41 rows. The facility holds approximately 16,500 spectators on both sides of the playing area.

The stadium opened in 1966 and was named in 1980 to honor Wilburn Tucker, who led the team to five conference championships. This naming recognized his significant contributions to the program's success.

The Tennessee Tech football team connects the local community through games that bring fans and students together in shared moments. These matches have become part of the college life and seasonal rhythm in Cookeville.

The facility has designated parking areas and accessible entrances for wheelchair users throughout the grounds. Food concessions are available selling common stadium fare and regional barbecue options.

Beginning in 2024, the facility underwent major renovation work including demolition of the west side structure. This project created new premium seating areas and private suites to modernize the fan experience.
