Great rapids: giant cranes and excavators explode around a very frequented structure just before Trent Figg rises to the microphone.
The football coach of the University of Calvin and other dignitaries were in the official Rite of Revolution for the new football box on Thursday afternoon.
“When we calmed football, we made a giant religion leap as an establishment and as a football program,” Figg said. “Today is the next step in our project for Calvin football. “
The stadium will be built in two phases. The first phase will be the structure of the grass garden, lighting accessories and the board. Phase two will be the supports on both sides of the box and a press box.

Until the end of the entire plan, the gentlemen will play their house games in Zuidema Field, the Stadium of the New School.
“Today marks a great step for the University of Athletics of Calvin and Calvin,” said Calvin President Greg Elzinga. “A little over a year ago, we presented our football program. It was a significant start, but we knew that our dreams and aspirations were somewhat bigger: bringing football to our campus. “
Calvin’s football team finished 2-8 in its inaugural season. On November 9, 2024, Hope College beat the Knights 38-7. The two will be collected this fall on November 8 in Holland.
“Two years ago, when I presented Calvin’s football coach, I think he had a blouse that said” Calvin Football “,” says Figg. “We had no helmets, we had no shoulder, we had no player. And in 2 years and part, we will have 120 soccer players. “
The stadium will be built in the existing baseball box and the rodals will decrease in the appearance of the hill. There will be a capacity of around 3,500 fans.
Paul Bouma, a first year in a red blouse in the team, is excited about the new installation.
“It’s great,” he said. “We have been ahead with this for some time. We are very grateful for all the donors who have done this possible. “
Bouma, graduated by Calvin Christian High School, played 8 games for the knights, who played his house games in the year of Grand Rapids Christian High School.
“This is what the first elegance (soccer players) took here,” he said. “We are here to do a lot first. And one of the first will play in our own stadium. I am excited about this. “
