Schedules GVSU opens the 1998 schedule on Thursday night, September 3, at Houseman Field in downtown Grand Rapids. The 1997 MIFC co-champ Ashland Eagles are the opponent. An update was given on the Football Locker Room Renovation Project. The effort is right on track, with only 15 lockers left to sell. Air conditioning will be installed in the facility.
Construction is ongoing.
We are adding approximately 1,500 seats to Lubbers Stadium. Northview High School is getting new bleachers, we'll purchase current ones, in good condition but excess. We've averaged about 4,100 fans per game, the additional bleachers will probably be used for student spirit sections, similar to UCal-Davis' Aggie Pack, seen in action during our visit last fall. Parking The gravel lot to the north of Lubbers Stadium will be paved and striped. One-game ticket and parking pass packages have been approved.
