In 1999, Towson University began the massive project of renovating its stadium. Four years later, the 11,000 plus seat Johnny Unitas Stadium ranks as the third largest facility of its kind in the Metropolitan Baltimore Area, behind M&T Bank Stadium and Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Unitas Stadium is named after legendary NFL Baltimore Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas, who passed away just weeks after becoming community liaison for the Towson University Athletic Department.
In April 2003, the final renovations to the stadium were completed with the construction of the four-story, 48,000-square-foot field house located in the stadium’s west endzone area. The field house features offices, meeting rooms, locker rooms, classrooms, a film editing room, an athlete-learning center, an athletic training room and an equipment room. A rooftop patio affords guests a bird’s-eye view of athletic contests.
The Minnegan Room, located on the third floor of the field house, is named after long-time faculty member, athletic director and coach Donald “Doc” Minnegan. It is a multipurpose room that has a breath-taking view of the action on the field as well as the stadium.
