Opened October 17, 1908, Chamberlain Field is the nation’s second oldest on-campus football stadium. Before that, the land was used as a pasture for Chattanooga Transfer Company's horses and mules. Major stadium renovations took place in 1927 and in the mid-1940’s. Terry Bradshaw, Johnny Unitas, Steve McNair and UTC’s own Terrell Owens all played on Chamberlain Field.
