COOKEVILLE – Saturdays this fall at Tennessee Tech University’s reimagined Tucker Stadium will deliver a real college football gameday experience as an authentic Southern university should. Cookeville’s premier entertainment venue promises new levels of excitement and luxury for sports, concerts, meetings, and festivities in the stadium built to be a destination.
Fans will find football game days forever transformed with the opening of the landmark stadium that will create connections among generations. When the gates open, Tech will take the next step in elevating football to the level expected at the state’s number one public university.
Towering over Overall Field, the new Tucker Stadium Westside stands as a signature gateway to a campus that is already known as the most welcoming, beautiful campus in the state.
“We are experiencing a renewed spirit around football, and this new stadium experience allows us to extend that energy to our campus and the community to make every game and visit a memorable time,” said Tennessee Tech Athletic Director Casey Fox.
The stadium is a testament to bringing Tech athletics to a level that matches its academic reputation while igniting fun with a new gameday experience built on each fan’s choices in seating, food, and engagement.
Expanded choices in reserved seating, premium and non-premium, headline the changes. The new west side, with a capacity of 3,300, offers suites, club seats, and a lower level with all chairback seating. Premium seating will offer the best views and amenities.
The stadium’s 14 suites, a President’s Suite with a capacity of 40 plus 13 others available for purchase, will offer suite holders and guests an eagle’s eye view of the game. Catered dining will be available in the suites that are accessible by elevator.
Fans looking for premium seating and expanded food options can purchase seats in the rare air of the Club Level, limited to 568 seats, but unlimited in comfort and perks. Club seats place fans in the best sight lines while seated in wide, stadium seats. Club ticket holders will enjoy an exclusive, climate-controlled space for conversations that includes premium concessions before and during the game, plus dedicated restrooms.
For great views and comfort on the new west side at lower pricing, fans can choose lower level seating featuring all chairback seats.
Tucker Stadium’s east side offers fans budget-friendly season tickets and single-game reserved seating with new concession options and a revamped plaza. Also, Tech is bringing back the designated student section; students will simply scan their Tech i.d.s to cheer on the team near the Golden Eagle Marching Band.
“Students drive the game-day energy,” said Fox. “Creating a great student experience at the stadium is important to us, and this new stadium will bring our campus community and our fans together like never before to show true Tech spirit.”
Anticipation grows as more information will soon be released about how to gain priority to purchase the best seats in the house. Waiting lists have already been established for suite and club seating. Ticket prices will be announced soon, along with information on how to join the waiting list for suite and club level seating sales.
“Our goal is to help fans find the option that fits them, their families, and friends so that fall Saturdays become the best way to spend time together and watch Tech football,” said Fox. “There is only one first season in the new Tucker Stadium and only one chance to be the first to sit in the new seats while the Golden Eagles play championship football.”
