The grand renovation, carrying a price tag of $6.5 million, showcases not only a commitment to tradition but also a forward-thinking approach to the needs of students and community members alike.
A Community Effort Funded by Vision
This thrilling refresh was made possible by a robust 30-year, $61 million bond proposal that received the green light from voters in May 2023. A clear sign that the community believes in investing in its future! Athletic Director Phil Miedema highlighted the significance of the upgrades, aiming to nurture values like character and leadership that are essential for the younger generation.
Modern Amenities for a Historical Venue

The renovations provide essential modern amenities, including heated locker rooms and upgraded bleachers. Fans can now expect enhanced concession stands and new bathrooms designed to create a smoother experience for everyone.
The football field has seen a significant transition to synthetic turf, elevating the quality of play while minimizing maintenance woes. And if that wasn’t enough, a brand-new building to the north of the track offers two additional team rooms, restrooms, trainer and official rooms, plus extra storage space.
To Center Around the Community
The renovation plans included significantly expanding concession services and bathroom facilities, all centered around a new plaza that makes it easier for fans to access everything they need on game day. Talk about elevating the fan experience!
Timeline of Transformation
The journey of renovation kicked off in November 2024, and by August 2025, community members were ready to celebrate. It’s a nostalgic return for the Fighting Scots, who officially played their first home game in the revamped stadium on August 28, 2025, securing a decisive 36-0 victory. A fine way to kick start a new chapter!
A Historical Investment Backed by Voter Will
Going back in time, Ralph E. Myers Stadium saw its first renovations back in 1998, which cost $1.9 million, marking its dedication as a memorial to Ralph E. Myers. It’s reassuring to know that this latest renovation fits seamlessly into a broader vision of better educational and recreational facilities in the area, with a nod to prior voter-approved projects.
