SPEND LIFE WISELY STADIUM
With your help, Southeastern's new stadium could become a reality for the 2027 season!
Re-Imagining the home of Savage Storm Football
Named for legendary Southeastern coach, Paul Laird Field has been the home to Savage and Savage Storm Football programs since the 1940’s.
The time has come for a modernization of our on-campus stadium, and you can be a part of this transformation.
The University will complete Phase I of this project in Spring 2025, which includes a new artificial turf playing surface and installation of wrought iron fencing around the complex to compliment the video board which was installed last summer.
With an initial gift from Mike Herron, ’95, Phase II has already begun. Southeastern has developed architectural drawings and renderings for replacement of the home bleachers with a 2,800-seat grandstand to include approximately 500 reserved chairback seats and a modern multi-level press box to include luxury suites and an elevator.
Phase II construction costs are estimated at $9.9 million, and the University will contribute $4.5 million toward this project.
As of March 10, 2025, $8.5 million dollars has been raised.
The University received a $3 million gift from the Massey Family Foundation and First United Bank on Giving Day 2025.
