Before January 2005, the athletic team nicknames were the "Indians" (men's teams) and "Otahkians" (women's teams), and the University's mascot was known as Chief Sagamore, represented by a student dressed in Native American regalia. Chief Sagamore was retired as mascot in the mid-1980s due to a growing cultural sensitivity to Native American mascots, but the team names lasted for nearly 20 more years. After a movement by Student Government, the Booster Club and the National Alumni Council, those names were officially retired in a ceremony on October 22, 2004 and replaced with "Redhawks."

Tucker Stadium

**Tucker Stadium**, the home venue for the Tennessee Tech football program since the Golden Eagles moved into the facility in 1966, underwent an extensive surface renovation in 2007. The facility upgrades included the installation of 24/7 turf by The Motz Group, as well as renovations and a new surface to the nine-lane track. In 2008, new lights were installed at the stadium, and in 2009 the working press box received a major overhaul and technological upgrades.

In 2007, attendance at Tech football games nearly doubled over the previous year’s, season ticket sales set records, topping the 2,000 mark, and the Golden Eagles had the largest opening game crowd in school history.

The venue  is named in tribute to former Golden Eagle coach Wilburn Tucker.

The center stage of the stadium is Overall Field, named to recognize longtime Tech coach and administrator Putty Overall.

The stadium features a two-level press box on each side, with the West Box hosting the working press and the East Box hosting the president and his guests.

With the addition of the 24/7 turf, the latest in technology, material and equipment was used to ensure that Tucker Stadium is one of the finest facilities in the Ohio Valley Conference.

Tucker Stadium opened for grid action for the 1966 season with seating for 12,500. In the first game in the facility, UT- Chattanooga came to town and handed coach Don Wade's Golden Eagles a 17-7 loss. Two weeks later, Tech posted its first victory in the stadium, topping East Tennessee State, 14-3.

The facility was expanded to its present capacity of 16,500 prior to the 1971 season. In 39 college football seasons, it has hosted 1,532,281 fans at 221 games. Tech has hosted 21 crowds of better than 12,000 fans and owns a 12-8-1 record in those contests, including a record 12,831 for the game against Cumberland in the 2007 opener. The largest attendance came against Morehead State in 1971, when 16,521 folks crowded into the newly enlarged facility.

The 2009 Golden Eagles were unbeaten at home, posting a 5-0 record. Golden Eagle teams have had three other unbeaten home seasons, going 11-0 over two consecutive seasons, with a 5-0 mark in 1971 and 6-0 in 1972. Tech was also 5-0 in 2001.

The facility was officially dedicated as Tucker Stadium at Homecoming ceremonies  on Oct. 18, 1980, in honor of former coach Wilburn Tucker, who served on the Golden Eagle staff for 21 years. The playing field itself retained its designation as Overall Field, named for coach P.V. Overall, who was head coach at Tech for 26 years. Both men are in the Tech Sports Hall of Fame and the OVC Hall of Fame.

When the stadium was built in 1966, it featured a press box on the West side for the working press.  The second box -- for use by TTU's president and guests -- plus 4,000 additional seats, were added to the East side of the stadium in 1971.

The first synthetic turf was laid in 1970 and was replaced in 1980. That turf lasted 13 years until Stadia Turf was installed in 1994, the surface that was replaced in 2007.
Ohio Valley Conference Wiki

The wiki about the OVC that only confirmed members can edit

The Ohio Valley Conference can trace its roots to 1941 when Murray State athletic director Roy Stewart, Eastern Kentucky athletic director
Charles "Turkey" Hughes, and Western
Kentucky public relations director Kelly Thompson
first formulated the idea of establishing a regional athletics conference. The plan was put on hold due to World War II, but it was
resurrected after the conclusion of the war. In 1948, the three schools joined with Louisville, Morehead State, and Evansville to form the Ohio Valley Conference. While many collegiate conferences are
struggling today with the question of whether their policies and rules should be determined by the athletic departments or by the
institutional heads, from the very beginning, the OVC has been run by the presidents of its member schools.

Southeast Softball Complex

The Southeast Softball Complex has served as the home of the Redhawks for 17 years.

The complex contains three regulation softball fields, all of which have lights. The facility includes batting cages, an air-conditioned press box large enough to accomodate print and broadcast media, and bleacher seating for 600. In addition, there is a hill beyond the right field fence that provides fans with a unique view of the action.

Southeast played Northern Iowa in its first game at this facility on Mar. 6, 1999. Prior to that, the Redhawks played their home games at Parker Field, located in the heart of the Southeast Missouri campus.

The Southeast Softball Complex was constructed as part of Southeast Missouri’s effort to improve its sports facilities. At the time, that project also included new tennis courts, a FieldTurf artificial playing surface for the football and soccer teams, the resurfacing of the Abe Stuber track and new locker rooms for the volleyball, baseball and men’s and women’s basketball programs.

Recent renovations to the Southeast Softball Complex include a fenced backstop with concrete base and netting, reconfiguration of batting cages (including new turf and netting), concrete under the bleacher areas and new windscreens/capping on fences. Home and visitor bullpen areas were also sodded, new speakers were installed and branded padding was added to the backstop.

A windscreen along the outfield wall, state-of-the-art scoreboard and protective fencing in front of both dugouts were other upgrades made to the Southeast Softball Complex in recent years.

Lee put the Cougars into the national spotlight with eight consecutive appearances in the NCAA Championships from 1970 to 1977. In three appearances at the Division II College World Series, the Cougars' best finish was second place in 1976.

SIUE baseball began playing at the current site with the start of the 1972 season.

Major renovations took place in 2004 and again in 2005. The site was transformed from a field to a stadium in 2005, when the grandstand was upgraded to include the brick stadium, permanent restrooms, concession stands, concourse, and entrance gate.

Another round of renovations took place following the 2010 season when the Cougars received a new clubhouse and home dugout. The natural grass infield was replaced with Astro Turf® GameDay Grass in time to play all but three home games on it during the 2011 season. The Astro Turf® surface means less rainouts, but more importantly more practice time on the field during the offseason. During the summer of 2014 the natural grass outfield also was replaced with Astro Turf® GameDay Grass, and the outfield wall was replaced, making a truly symmetrical outfield.

Renovation to the Simmons Baseball Complex were made possible due to a donation by John Simmons and the Simmons Law Firm.
