Alumni Stadium is the athletics stadium at Bob Jones University, a Protestant fundamentalist university in Greenville, South Carolina. The stadium, completed in 1968, was a gift of the BJU Alumni Association and seats 4,000 in a single stand situated along the north sideline. Its bleachers are constructed of prestressed concrete beams with seats of anodized aluminum.[1] In 1992, an outdoor concession area was included as part of the adjoining Fremont Fitness Center.[2]
The University abolished intercollegiate athletics in 1933.[3] Except for a few exhibition games, only intramural sports were played in the stadium until the 2012-13 school year when intercollegiate soccer was introduced.[4] The stadium continues to be used for intramural athletics and occasionally for other non-athletic events.[5]
