A revitalization effort will start soon at Tennessee State to make Hale Stadium a more suitable place for the Tigers to play some of their football games and for the new women’s soccer team to call home.
The bulk of the renovation will include the demolition and replacement of the press box at the historic venue along with installation of an artificial turf surface, according to TSU assistant athletic director for communications Nick Guerriero.
NASHVILLE — Tennessee State University Director of Athletics, Dr. Mikki Allen, has appointed Candice Dupree, a seven-time WNBA All-Star and assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs, as the 13th head coach in program history.
“I am thrilled about the opportunity to lead and coach the future of women’s basketball at Tennessee State University,” said Dupree. “I am eager to continue building our program in alignment with the incredible culture and values embodied within the Tiger Family. It is an honor to be entrusted with upholding the tradition and legacy of TSU while embracing the evolving landscape of sports. Most importantly, I am committed to nurturing the holistic development of our student-athletes.”

At 10 a.m. on Thursday, March 28, the board of trustees at Tennessee State University sat down to meet William E. Hudson, one of three finalists to be the next president of the historically Black school. They had plans to meet with a third and final candidate the next morning as they neared the end of the search process.
But most, if not all, of them couldn’t have imagined how quickly the search would get turned on its head.
The board’s Thursday morning meeting came after nearly two months of uncertainty over whether the board itself would be ousted by a bill carried by Republican state lawmakers. But there was still hope for the board’s survival, this time in the form of a compromise proposed by House Democrats to retain half of the trustees.
