As the home of various Army Black Knight sport programs, the modernization of Michie Stadium, where cadets have watched games for generations, will include a complete transformation of the East Stands to ensure the most inspirational game day atmosphere in the country continues. The project will fully integrate the cadets into the reimagination process, to elevate the viewing experience in a way that is authentic to the "Duty, Honor, Country" ideals.
Breaking Ground In 2024
The Army West Point Athletics Association (AWPAA) and the West Point Association of Graduates (WPAOG) announced that the initial private funding necessary to break ground in the Spring of 2024 on the Michie Stadium Preservation Project is secured. Expected completion for this project, which will rebuild and modernize the current East Stands, is slated for Summer 2026. During this time, Army West Point will continue to welcome fans at Michie Stadium for men’s and women’s lacrosse, football, graduation, and other special events.
Preservation Project Mission
Premium Seating Experiences
The existing East Stands will be removed, and a new 160,000-square-foot structure will be built in its place that will include brand new offerings currently unavailable at Michie Stadium. These new premium spaces include suites, ledge seats, loge boxes and club seats. In addition, the Corps of Cadets seating section will stretch end zone to end zone ensuring that the cadets are a central focus as well as amplifying game-day support of the cadet-athletes on the field.
