.
The Executive Committee of Lehigh University's Board of
Trustees has authorized the construction of a new stadium at
the University's Murray H. Goodman Campus.
Targeted for opening for the 1988 football season, the
facility will be built in a natural bowl adjacent to Stabler
Athletic and Convention Center, home of Lehigh's wrestling
and men's and women's basketball teams; Philip Rauch
Field House, Lehigh's indoor track and field facility; and the
Robert A. Kaufman Fields, home of the women's softball,
lacrosse and field hockey teams.
Marsha A. Duncan, university vice president for
student affairs said "More than simply a superb center for
Lehigh University athletic and recreational activities, we
feel the stadium will be an outstanding resource of which
the entire Lehigh Valley can be proud.
Construction of the stadium is due to begin next month.
Its design will be modular, allowing for phased construction.
The number of fixed seats in the first phase will be from
11,400 to 16,000, depending on detailed planning and fund
raising.
Plans also call for a press box, a complex of "sky,boxes,"
and a field house to accommodate home and visiting teams.
