In 1998, the facility was renamed in honor of former LSU Athletic Director Carl Maddox during the SEC Indoor Championships. Maddox was a fan of track and field and a major force in building the field house.

The field house features a 200-meter unbanked track, elevated jump runways, a variety of throwing areas and multiple high jump and vaulting areas.{{cite web|title=Bliss sets indoor LSU record in shot put|publisher=secsports.com|url=http://www.secsports.com/article/12147001/bliss-sets-indoor-lsu-record-shot-put|access-date=2017-11-22}}
