โThis design concept is more than an ideaโit's a promise,โ said Dr. Trayvean Scott, Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics in a statement. โWe are preparing champions who will carry forward the legacy of Grambling State. This facility is designed with them in mind, ensuring our student-athletes have the tools to compete and excel in every season.โ
Grambling State President Martin Lemelle, Jr. added, โSupporting our student-athletes means investing in every dimension of their journeyโathletic, academic, and personal. This facility embodies that vision. It is more than a space to train; it is a commitment to their well-being, their preparation, and their legacy. At Grambling State, we are not simply building for todayโwe are creating pathways that ensure future generations of student-athletes have the resources, opportunities, and support to thrive at the highest level.โ
The facility will allow Grambling athletes to train year-round and prepare themselves appropriately for athletic competition. The new facility will house a 70-yard turf field, a climate-controlled training space, and a dedicated area for sports medicine, strength development, and team preparation. It will also feature advanced lighting and video systems for film review and performance analysis.
A groundbreaking ceremony is set for October 10th near Eddie G. Robinson Memorial Stadium. The Tigers then host Texas Southern University on October 11th at 7 PM EST.
