NASHVILLE, Tennessee - Tennessee State’s football team will return to William Jasper Hale Stadium for the first time since 1998 to play Austin Peay on Sept. 15. The Tigers are tentatively scheduled to play two other games — Eastern Kentucky (Oct. 6) and Tennessee Tech (Oct. 27) — at the stadium on campus in the 2012 schedule released Thursday.
“As part of the university’s 100-year celebration we wanted to play at least one game at Hale Stadium and we know we are going to be able to do that,” Athletics Director Teresa Phillips said. “We’ll know over the next few months if we will have the people investment we’re hoping for and everything in place to play the other two games there as well.”
If the Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee Tech games are not played at Hale, they will be at LP Field, where the Tigers have played since 1999. Hale Stadium is currently being renovated.
The Tigers, 5-6 last season, will play at LP Field for the 14th annual John Merritt Classic vs. Florida A&M (Sept. 1) and homecoming vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Sept. 29).
