History
The sports complex began its history as part of a larger $44.5 million bond project that was passed in 2004 to enlarge the high school, renovate and expand Collins Middle School and improve facilities for sports and other extracurricular activities at both schools. Tiger Stadium sits on about 30 acres (120,000 m2) of a 116-acre (0.47 km2) site bought by the Corsicana Independent School District in 2004 in anticipation of the new stadium. Tiger Stadium replaces Tiger Field, which opened in 1961, as the home for the Corsicana Tigers and Navarro College Bulldogs. The stadium has not only hosted games for the main tenants, but has also recently been used as a neutral site along with other newer high school, collegiate and professional stadiums in Texas in the University Interscholastic League's annual Texas State Football Playoffs.
