About Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium
East Carolina University's on-campus football stadium, Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium, is in Greenville, North Carolina, and is home to the East Carolina Pirates. Several expansions took it from a 10,000-seat original to an official capacity of 51,000. The university also holds its Spring Commencement exercises there, and the playing field was named Bagwell Field in 1997.
The stadium opened on September 21, 1963, as Ficklen Memorial Stadium, named for James Skinner Ficklen, who owned the E.B. Skinner Tobacco Company of Greenville. Permanent north-side seating in 1967 and 1968 raised that to 20,000, and seats added to the four corners in 1977 raised it to 35,000, which made it North Carolina's third largest stadium at that point. A $1 million donation from Ronald and Mary Ellen Dowdy in 1994 led to the new name.
A north-side upper deck finished in 1998 lifted the capacity to 40,000, and a club level in 1999 added 3,000 seats. That year a Pirate sculpture, a bronze of three tons, more than 6.1 m (20 feet) high, was dedicated in the southeast area. The 2009–2010 expansion built 7,000 seats in the east end zone, joining the stands on the north and south in a horseshoe form. TowneBank Tower, which opened in August 2019, holds 530 club seats, 22 loge boxes, 19 skyboxes and four founder suites, plus more than 100 media seats.
