With this statement The Gamecock of Sep tember, 1926, announced thp build ing of proposed Field House. The chapel had long ago grown too small for student body meet ings, and bad coustics had been responsible for a gymnasium that had been intended for a chapel in 1855. The Gamecock announced that the new building would be located behind Steward's Hall and that everyt ing would be on one floor. There would be room for two prac tice courts, which could be turned into one large varsity court for inter-collegiate games. The seats would encircle the court in arena style. It was announced that 4,000 people could be seated in the grandstands and that at least 5, 000 could be seated at meetings by placing chairs on the courts. Work was begun on the building that fall. It was one to which students looked with enthusiasm, and its building received week by week publicity. Announcement was made by The Gamecock that it would be the largest single span audlitorium south of Washington, D. C. Lockers and dressing rooms were added, as well as sleeping quarters and showers for 30 to save the expense of housing vis iting teams elsewhere.
