Roy Kidd Stadium, Hanger Field and the Robert B. Begley Building, the home of Colonel football since 1969, is one of the most unique, architecturally-designed academic-athletics com- plexes in the nation. Roy Kidd Stadium was enhanced signifi cantly in 2017. New east side seating was completed with 3,000 new bleacher seats and a concourse that features modern concessions and restroom facil- ities. The fi rst fl oor is dedicated to the benefi t of Colonel football student-athletes and includes a new team locker room featuring a team lounge, equipment room and a game day training area. The entire structure was constructed with future expansion and renovations to Roy Kidd Stadium in mind. 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). The stadium portion of the Begley Complex was named in honor of former head football coach Roy Kidd. The dedication took place on Sept. 8, 1990, when the Colonels defeated Central Eastern Kentucky defeated Austin Peay in the inaugural game at then Hanger Florida, 24-12.

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.
