History[]

The complex started with the construction of the football stadium which was funded by a 1960 bond and completed in 1962. The aquatics center followed in 1964 and the field house in 1966. In 1967 the center was named for the first district superintendent, Virgil T. Blossom. The complex further expanded in 1970 with the addition of a baseball stadium, then again in 1973 with the addition of eight tennis courts. In 2001 the Davis Natatorium was added.^[1]
