RIT to break ground on new athletic stadium
Listen to this articleRochester Institute of Technology will officially break ground on construction of a new on-campus Tiger Stadium on Thursday.
The $30 million project will provide the men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s soccer programs with a 38,828-square-foot facility. The target date for completion is the fall of 2025.

Seating capacity will be 1,180, with additional space in the hospitality room. There also will be standing room areas.
Amenities include new locker rooms, a training room, media suite, concession area, outdoor concourse and a hospitality room with a glass wall overlooking the field.
