The Grand Valley State football team enjoys the
friendly confines of Arend D. Lubbers Stadium, one of the
top Division II facilities in the nation. Gameday at Lubbers
Stadium brings a buzz of excitement and pride to the Laker
football program. The surroundings of Lubbers Stadium
have changed almost yearly and add to the festivities that
surround a Laker football Saturday during the fall. Most
recently, a new Daktronics Scoreboard with a ProStar
Video Display board was added for the 2005 season. Two
seating sections were added to each end of the home side
and a new student section was built to accomadate the stellar
student turnout for Laker football games in 2004.
The Lakers have moved all of their football operations
into the GVSU Football Center and the Rob
Odejewski Weight Room in 2002. The Football Center
includes a state-of-the-art locker room, equipment room,
training room and meeting rooms. The design doubled the
size of the former building in the north end zone by adding
over 4,000 square feet (2,000 square feet on each side).
Permanent lighting, a new playing surface, and six executive
suites located on each side of the press box are additions
added in the last four years. The student seating area,
which moved to south endzone in 1998, has created
renewed excitement among the student body. The student
seating section has doubled in capacity from 1,300 to 2,700
with the new bleachers. The Laker student seating section
is routinely filled to capacity with the overflow moving
onto the track.
