The stadium was located immediately west of the present Maverick Activities Center on what is now a field of flat recreational space and east of the nearby creek.
A win for Arkansas State would give them the title outright, while a UTA victory would guarantee a share.
UTA led 21–14 when Arkansas State scored a touchdown and added a two-point conversion to go up 22–21 with three minutes remaining.
The stadium was a lure for a major league team (eventually becoming the home of the Texas Rangers in 1972), but the City did not have a full-time tenant during the fall.
In 1975, the Maverick Activities Center opened east of the site, and provided UTA students recreational opportunities not previously available on campus.
