The Case Athletic Complex opened in June 2007, less than three years after the plans were unveiled for the facility that houses Golden Hurricane football.

On November 11, 2004, University of Tulsa President Steadman Upham unveiled plans for the Case Athletic Complex to be located in the north end zone of Skelly Stadium. Excavation began on January 13, 2006

The 30,000 square foot complex was built at a cost of $10 million, and it began phase one of the renovation of Skelly Field. Phase Two began at the conclusion of the 2007 football season when Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium underwent major renovations.

The Case Athletic Complex, named for Mike Case, a developer and philanthropist who made a significant financial gift for the project, houses football coaches offices, meeting rooms, game day suites, academic support center for all student-athletes, football locker room and equipment room, athletic training room, video production suite and Lettermen's Club suite.

The Case Complex provides the Tulsa football program with an exceptional every-day use facility, as well as providing all TU student-athletes with an area dedicated to academic enhancement.

"I am both pleased and excited that I was asked to be involved in what I believe is the continuation of the resurgence of The University of Tulsa's football program," said Case at the news conference announcing the plans for the Case Athletic Complex in 2004. "This a big step toward returning Tulsa to its former days of football glory. The Case Athletic Complex will not only be a tremendous asset for coaches, staff and players, but will also be invaluable in recruiting top-notch student-athletes throughout the country."

Case added, "While Pat and I didn't graduate from The University of Tulsa, TU has become my adopted alma mater, and I have enjoyed helping the University when the need arises. Especially, when I feel the project is beneficial to the city of Tulsa. This project is one that benefits both the University and the city." The St. Louis-based Hastings and Chivetta designed the Case Athletic Complex.
