The Bristol Municipal Stadium was built with funds provided by the Works Progress Administration between 1934 and 1937, using stone from nearby Beaver Creek. A dedication ceremony was held on October 8, 1936, before the Tennessee High and Science Hill High of Johnson City football game. It served as the home field for Tennessee High School and Virginia High School, as well as Slater High School and Douglas High School, Black high schools in Bristol, Tennessee, and Bristol, Virginia, respectively, and King College. Commonly known as Stone Castle, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 for its unique architecture.
