Air Force Athletics hosted local media for a tour of the progress of the Falcon Stadium East Club April 18. The Academy officially broke ground Jan. 24 on the Falcon Stadium East Club modernization with a ceremony at the construction site. The Academy hosted a Topping Out Ceremony on Dec. 8, 2023, signifying the final steel beam being placed into the construction on the East Club.
After nearly six decades of football and lacrosse games, graduations, concerts and various events, the renovations coming to Falcon Stadium will help transform the facility into a first-class venue.
The Falcon Stadium modernization is a fundraising priority within the Defining Our Future comprehensive campaign publicly launched in September 2021. The Air Force Academy Foundation and the Air Force Academy Athletic Corporation have partnered to achieve the fundraising goals for the stadium as part of the athletics component of the campaign.
The investment required for the initial phase of the Falcon Stadium modernization project totals $90 million. Philanthropic support through the Air Force Academy Foundation will provide $35 million as part of the campaign and the remaining $55 million investment will be financed by Air Force Academy Athletic Corporation revenue. The Foundation is working toward raising $15 million to complete the donor-funded portion of the initial phase.
New stadium elements and positive impact to the fan experience
