ThisT was the third time that the facilty has undergone renovations. In 2003, the facilityfa got a $1.3 million dollar upgrade. The improvements included redesigning anda resurfacing the track with a mondo covering…the same material used at the OlympicsO and World Games. Areas for the high jump, triple jump, long jump and polep vault were also installed. The grass football fi eld was replaced with fi eld turf.

TheT Alexander Durley Sports Complex was built on top of the practice track and fi eld in 1984. The new facility included a synthetic covered track and fi eld, a grass footballootball fi eldeld, a press box and bleachers for 3300 fans. It was closed to competition from 1996 until the university invested an additional $600,000 to upgrade the bleachers and other amenities in 2005. The improvements included tearing down the old press box and replacing it with a facility for the coaches, clock operator and score keeper. An area for the President was also constructed which can accommodate 30 people. The scoreboard was upgraded and a state-of-the-art sound system was installed. Some home games were played on this fi eld, but now the football team only uses it as a practice facility. The sports complex is used at the home fi eld for soccer competitions and the TSU Relays.
