Note

Plant Field was the first major athletic multi-purpose stadium in Tampa. It was built in 1899 by Henry B. Plant on the grounds of his Tampa Bay Hotel. The University of Tampa gained ownership of the stadium in 1971. It was renamed Pepin-Rood Stadium in 1983. None of the original grandstand remains at the current Pepin-Rood Stadium.
