Robert "Pete" Griffin Track
Opened: 1980
Built in 1980, the eight-lane
facility has served as host of the annual FAMU Relays since its
construction. For several years, it was the host site for the MEAC
Outdoor Track Championships. It also plays host to local and regional
high school championships as well as intramural events.
The modern track and field
complex replaced the old clay track that used to reside at Bragg
Memorial Stadium. It was replaced because the clay surface would often
rain out. When the stadium was renovated in 1980, the track was
removed.
In addition to the all-weather
Ruba-Turf running surface, the facility also features grandstands for up
to 5,000 fans and participants,a fieldhouse/storage area with restrooms
and upper level press box. The facility has pole vault pits as well as
sun-sensor lighting for night use.
