Michie Stadium Preservation Project Support Spotlight: Class of 1967
WEST POINT, N.Y. – In honor of the United States Military Academy Class of 1967, a $10.5 million gift has been anonymously awarded to the Michie Stadium Preservation Project, further adding to the momentum of the most ambitious gift-funded construction project in the history of the Academy.
Thanks to substantial gifts like the one provided by the Class of 1967, as well as the efforts of the West Point Association of Graduates (WPAOG) and the Army West Point Athletics Association (AWPAA), this newly-announced project has already made significant progress towards its $95 million goal.
This transformational project will seek to reconstruct the East Stands of Michie Stadium, an integral part of the “once-in-a-lifetime” experience that has been revered by fans for many generations. Built in 1924, Michie Stadium is an icon of West Point and provides opportunity for Americans to engage with, learn about an immerse themselves in the culture of the Academy.
The support for this project has been strong and steady since the official launch. I am thrilled to have received this gift in honor of the class of 1967. The cadet-athletes, the Corps and our fans have played a huge role in our establishment of Michie Stadium as one of the finest facilities in college football and we feel confident that this project will help take us to the next level.Director of Athletics, Mike Buddie
The Michie Stadium Preservation Project directly reflects the Corps of Cadets’ ideals of “Duty, Honor, Country” and will introduce all-new premium areas for guests with the addition of suite, loge, ledge and club-level seating. These proposed upgrades will help to protect and preserve Michie Stadium’s history, tradition and “once-in-a-lifetime” experience for generations to come. Additionally, the end-to-end seating area for the Corps will provide a decisive home field advantage for the Army football and lacrosse programs.
This historic $10.5 million gift will further enhance the unique and storied Michie Stadium experience and ensure it is available for generations to come.
