Carlos Santana performed in the gymnasium at Stony Brook University on Sunday Nov. 4, 1984 at 9 p.m. By this year, he was already widely famous. In an article from a Nov. 7, 1984 issue of The Statesman, student reporter, Ellen Breidner, noted that a round of applause was needed for the Stony Brook Concerts for the great show they put on.
On March 12, 2001, 3 Doors Down was the first artist to perform in the Indoor Sports Complex since Bob Dylan in 1991. The concert was originally scheduled for March 6, but had to be postponed due to a snowstorm that trapped students and faculty.
