The university community is invited to a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Stoffer Family Stadium this Monday, May 20, at 4 p.m.
The stadium will serve as future home of the university’s revived football program – set to kick off in 2014 after a 45-year hiatus – and the track and field team. It will be built on campus where the current track facility is located.
The groundbreaking ceremony will include a ceremonial groundbreaking, a time to honor the donors who helped make the project possible, and details on how the stadium will impact not only the university’s football and track and field programs, but athletics for the entire George Fox community.
To date, more than $5.3 million of the $7.2 million project has been raised. Crews began work on the complex – which will include the synthetic-turf Lemmons Family Field, grandstand facilities and the Duke Athletic Center (home to a training facility, a locker room, offices and classrooms) – this spring, with construction due to be completed in time for football’s kickoff in September of 2014.
To R.S.V.P. for the groundbreaking ceremony, e-mail Jan Lefebvre at jlefebvre@georgefox.edu.
