HICKORY – Lenoir-Rhyne University’s spring football game is scheduled March 9 at 5 p.m. and will follow a groundbreaking ceremony an hour earlier for the Neill McGeachy Sports Performance Center.
The game at Moretz Stadium is free admission.
LRU, which returns 20 starters from a 12-2 team that finished at No. 8 in the NCAA Division II rankings, will be in its second season under head coach Drew Cronic.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the McGeachy complex is the next step in a process that began in December. The $3-million state-of-the-art complex will feature 14,000 square feet of new and enhanced multiuse training space, a weight room, nutrition bar, indoor turf training area, dedicated team meeting rooms, additional coaches’ offices, and a covered pavilion.
The facility also will support student-athletes in all 22 intercollegiate sports in both sports performance and personal development.
The center also will support the growing needs of the Bears Club by providing a covered pavilion for hosting game-day hospitality events, as well as provide dynamic engagement space for teams and the broader campus community to use throughout the year.
