Plans to secure the bell began in 1951, and it was officially presented on October 10, 1953. ECU is holding a Victory Bell Commemorative Service on March 29, 2005.

Abstract:
Since 1960 there were efforts by ECU to build a new football stadium because the old college stadium had grown too small for their needs. The official campaign for a new stadium began on Oct. 7, 1961 at a dinner of the Society of Buccaneers, an alumni booster organization. Through the efforts of Booger Scales and the financial backing of the Ficklen family, ground was broken for the stadium on May 3, 1962. In 1963 the stadium was finished and formally dedicated on Sept. 21, 1963 in honor of James S. Ficklen. The second portion of Ficklen Stadium was dedicated in September 1968. In 1991, $1.6 million in renovations and repairs were done to the stadium. The stadium was renamed Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in honor of donors Ronald and Mary Ellen Dowdy.
