    Looks like (without any weather or material delays) the scheduled completion date for Moretz Stadium remains as August 2022. Due to highly inflated (and soring) construction materials and labor cost, the project may be scaled back from earlier plans. However, it should still be a vast improvement over the former facilities.

    On Monday I went to Lenoir Rhyne to do my part in helping with the cost of the new DIGGS and renew my Bear Club membership. Took a 30 minute or so walk around to see the construction and OMG are they moving along. I was told that the contractor has said that nothing will keep them from being finished on time and are working two shifts six days a week to meet that promise.

    To say I was really impressed would be an understatement. I do not know if LR will win a game between the bricks, but my oh my will they be playing in one of the most impressive environments anywhere! LR signed 40 players on Signing Day but it was the Lacrosse guys that said they were being overwhelmed at the impact the new place was on them and their recruiting.

    I can not wait for the fall. Hope to see EVERY BODY there.

    I think the new plans look great but even as an LR alumni and huge football fan/supporter I think this stadium is much more than needed for the amount of fans on a given Saturday. In my opinion the money could have been spent better elsewhere.

    The athletic department just released this new video of the stadium plans. Very cool stuff!
    Looks good, but from my observation the video could use some diversity.

    Part of the funding for the Moretz Stadium will be generated through 'Naming Rights'. Of the 54 available Naming Rights, on the latest update 18 have been secured.

    To help contribute, or to inquire about obtaining one or more of the available naming rights, contact Andy Anderson - [email protected]
