ETSU Football Stadium[2] is the working name of a football stadium currently under construction on the campus of East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee. Located on the southwestern corner of campus at the foot of Buffalo Mountain, the new stadium is expected to have a seated capacity of over 7,000, plus standing room for an additional 3,000, and will cost roughly $26.615 million. Once completed in the fall of 2017, it will be home to the newly-resumed East Tennessee State Buccaneers football team, which played their first two seasons at Kermit Tipton Stadium on the campus of Science Hill High School.
