A groundbreaking ceremony was held yesterday for the stadium modernization of Falcon stadium at the United States Air Force Academy. This is the third phase of the new master plan for the stadium.
The modernization consists of replacing the existing east concourse with the new East Club, featuring 1,200 premium seats and a state-of-the-art, club-level experience. The project includes a modern and efficient entrance, a heritage plaza, open-air hospitality decks, enhanced food and beverage options, updated restrooms, new merchandise areas, and a ticket office. The East Club will provide panoramic views of Falcon Stadium during athletic competition, special events, and corporate gatherings. The architect is HKS, Inc.
“This phase starts the complex integration of the new master plan for the stadium. It faces many construction and logistical challenges where we will ensure the stadium is accessible and open for events, like football games and graduation. The east concourse will be the new focal point for the stadium,” said Joe Opyd, senior project manager for GE Johnson.
When complete, the modernization will transform Falcon Stadium into a world-class venue and year-round destination for events.
