Roy Kidd Stadium will be enhanced signifi cantly in the coming years. New east side seating will be completed by the 2017 season, as well as a new football locker room, players’ lounge, equip- ment room and other improvements. It is anticipated additional enhancements to the south endzone and west side, which will be fan-focused, will be completed in the coming years. More than a half million fans have visited Roy Kidd Stadium since 2000, highlighted by a crowd of 22,700 which watched the Colonels take on Western Kentucky in 2004 (the fi fth-largest crowd in Roy Kidd Stadium history).

In the jubilant EKU locker room following the 27-13 victory over Ball State, the tri-captains for the ’67 Colonels – Harry Lenz, Siemon and Marsh – presented the game ball to their elated coach, Roy Kidd, signifying his fi rst championship season at Eastern. “Coach, you are the best coach in the OVC, the Mideast Region and anywhere else that anybody plays football,” Lenz said. In addition to Guice, Marsh and Holcomb’s heroics and the overall play of the Headhunters in the Bowl victory, John Tazel concluded his fabulous EKU career with a remarkable performance that included 11 pass receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. “Ball State was a very good team,” Kidd said. “The thing that bothered me the most was their size. They were not only one of the biggest, but also one of the quickest teams we had ever faced.” Guice, who was chosen MVP of the game, set a Grantland Rice Bowl record for passing percentage (15-of-19, .788), throwing for 136 yards and two scores. “When you talk about what got it all started for the tremen- dous success this program has enjoyed for the past 40 years, you have to start here with this 1967 Eastern team,” former EKU head football coach Danny Hope said.

If you believe in destiny, I believe that team was destined to be winners from the very fi rst game of that season.” Eastern literally ran all over the vaunted Lehigh defense, totaling 288 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. All- OVC fullback Dale Patt on and tailback Alvin Miller led the way with 121 and 81 yards, respectively, on the ground. Miller was named MVP of the national championship game, as he totaled 144 all-purpose yards in the Colonels’ dominating 30-7 win. The jubilant EKU locker room underneath the massive Citrus Bowl stadium was fi lled with tears of joy and tears of remem- brance as Don MacKinnon’s mother and sister made their way through a host of well-wishers, members of the media and Colonel players and coaches to where Coach Kidd stood with the coveted national championship game ball.
