The stadium was named after William Skelly, the primary benefactor, it had an original seating capacity of 14,500 when the Hurricanes played their first game at the stadium against Arkansas. The first of several additions occurred seventeen years after its opening. The seating capacity was increased by 5,000 when stands were added in the north endzone. Because of the addition in the north endzone, the main scoreboard was moved to the south endzone. In 1965, Skelly Field at HA Chapman Stadium got its present capacity of 40,385. During this expansion the track was removed and seats were added on the south and west sides of the stadium. A two story pressbox was also constructed during this time. Artificial turf replaced the natural grass playing field in 1972 that has recently been replaced with Fieldturf. The most recent additions to Skelly Field at HA Chapman Stadium came in 1980 and 84 when new modern scoreboards were installed. Originally known as Skelly Stadium, the stadium was renamed Skelly Field at HA Chapman Stadium in April 2007. After the 2007 season, renovations began to the Golden Hurricane's home. This project included a new press box, 22 luxury boxes and a new scoreboard. The $9 million Case Athletic Complex was constructed at the north endzone as a museum for Tulsa University football. The upper section of the west stands was removed decreasing the seating capacity to 31,000, making Skelly Stadium the smallest stadium in Conference USA.
