| Brief History: |
The West Tennessee Agriculture Pavilion, an 82,000 square foot multi-purpose
facility, was completed in May of 1984 on the site of Lovelace
house and a post-war faculty/married student housing complex irreverently
termed "Incubator Hill." Its main feature is a 24,000
square foot indoor rodeo arena. The building seats 3,000 people
and incorporates an 32-stall animal holding area, tack room, and grooming
areas. A 150-stall barn was built adjacent to the pavilion in 1989.
The building was officially named the McWherter Agriculture Complex
in 1995, honoring Weakley County native Governor Ned Ray McWherter.
