Brice Williams (b. 1897, Lexington, SC) was a famous racecar driver, movie star and architect during the 1920s/30s. He designed our stadium along with several other national projects including the Empire State Building and Hoover Dam.
He joined the war effort in 1942 after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, became a prominent OSS agent, and in April 1945 he infiltrated Nazi Berlin disguised as Oberführer Williams Brice and shot Hitler. The name stuck and thus was affixed to our stadium.
