College Stadium was the stadium for the East Carolina Pirates football team. It was built in 1949 for $25,000 (equivalent to $320,000 in 2023). The facility sat 2,000 spectators. The complex was razed in 1962 once Ficklen Memorial Stadium was built. It replaced Guy Smith Stadium as the primary football field.[1]
