A new era in Hornet Football began in June, 2011 with the opening of the Houston Markham Football Complex, the new home of the Alabama State Football Program.
The two-story facility has more than 30,000 square feet of space, featuring:
- Academic Study Lab
- 15 offices
- 2 team meeting rooms
- Coaches’ conference room
- Players’ lounge
- Locker room w/116 lockers
- Training room
- Hospitality Room
- Weight room
The facility is located in the northeast corner of Hornet Stadium, overlooking the practice field. The complex is named for former ASU head coach Houston Markham, the winningest coach in the history of Hornet Football with a record of 68 wins, 39 losses, and five ties (.629 winning percentage) from 1987-97. Markham led the most dominant team in school history to an 11-0-1 record in 1991, winning both the SWAC and Black College National Championships.
