Ripon College Holds Ground Breaking On Much Needed Sports Stadium

Ripon College will be holding a ground breaking ceremony for it’s new sports stadium this Friday at 1:30 PM.

The new 157,000-square-foot on-campus stadium will be built on lower Sadoff Field between the Willmore Center for athletics and the student residence halls.

Up until now, Ripon College shared Ingalls Field Stadium, located a half-mile from campus, with Ripon High School for outdoor athletic events. Ripon College is the only school in the Midwest Conference without its own campus stadium.

The new mixed-use space will host the Ripon College football team as well as the men’s and women’s soccer teams. It will also serve the Ripon community with
concerts and other student life programming.

The stadium will feature seating for 2,000 and a press box, viewing opportunities on Sadoff Hill, lighting for evening programming and a branded game-day experience.

The new stadium is projected to open in the fall.
