The stadium was constructed against the wishes of the late and former Clemson Head Coach Jess Neely.
Just before leaving for Rice University after the 1939 season, he told Frank Howard, " Don't ever let them talk you into building a big stadium.
On April 3, 1941, the South Carolina General Assembly ratified an act authorizing a $ 150, 000 bond issue for the new stadium, and the bill went to Governor Burnet R. Maybank for signature.
The stadium was designed by Carl Lee of Charlotte, N. C., a Clemson graduate, Class of 1908, and Professor H. E. Glenn of the engineering faculty.
In fact, the first staking out of the stadium was done by A. N. Cameron and Hugh Webb, two members of the football team.
