UVM Athletics always welcomes a challenge. The latest has been issued to the universitys athletics boosters and fundraisers by an anonymous benefactor: Raise $1 million toward the renovation of the Archie Post Field complex, and the donor will match it.
Planned improvements to Archie Post Field are included in the departments fundraising goal during the universitys $250 million comprehensive campaign. Proposed new facilities include construction of an open-air, outdoor athletic stadium for soccer; an adjacent, all-weather field primarily for lacrosse and field hockey; an outdoor track; permanent seating for 4,000 spectators; and space for concessions, picnicking and restrooms.
This is a chance for those who care about UVM athletics to make a real impact on the quality of our athletics facilities and the caliber of the student experience for athletes and non-athletes alike," said Robert Corran, director of athletics. Every gift to athletics facilities will have a double impact as we strive to meet this million dollar challenge.
