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.
The Michie Stadium Preservation Project calls for the removal of the existing East Stands, to be replaced with a new 160,000-square-foot structure that will feature premium club-level seating, a variety of hospitality options, a new fan store, upgraded concessions and amenities, and improved stadium accessibility. Additionally, seating for the 4,400-strong Corps of Cadets will stretch from end zone to end zone, ensuring cadets are a central focus as well as amplifying game-day support of the cadet athletes on the field. Along with the new East Stands will be a reconfiguration of the stadium’s surrounding landscape that will improve accessibility while capitalizing on the panoramic views of Lusk Reservoir, the Cadet Chapel, Fort Putnam, and the scenic Hudson Valley.
