It鈥檚 a big year for football!
Not only does the 2019 season mark the return of the back-to-back Big Sky Champion Wildcats, it also marks 100 years of football at Weber State and the opening of a new athletic complex at the north end of Stewart Stadium.
The 27,000-square-foot building will serve as the main entrance to the stadium and will include the Barbara and Rory Youngberg Football Center, the Sark’s Boys’ Gateway, the Stromberg Strength and Conditioning Complex, the Marquardt-Kimball Plaza and the Behnken Plaza. The complex will feature facilities for the football team and for all student-athletes.
“This building is transformational to our program,” said former Athletic Director Jerry Bovee MBA ’10. “Over the last 10 years, we have made great strides in improving the athletic and academic facilities for our student-athletes. This is a capstone project that will assist in the development of not only the football program but all of our 16 sports. We thank the generous community members and former student-athletes who made this possible.”
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 6 from 4-6 p.m. Come hear from campus and community dignitaries, take self-guided tours and purchase tickets for the football home-opener versus Cal Poly Saturday, Sept. 7.
