Lubbers Stadium

Lubbers Stadium is a modern football facility on the Grand Valley State University campus featuring tiered seating and a large video display board. The horseshoe-shaped configuration wraps seating around the field on three sides, creating an open-air viewing experience.

The stadium opened in 1973 as the home of the Lakers football team. A major renovation in 2012 involved lowering the playing surface to create additional seating capacity.

The stadium serves as a gathering place where students, alumni, and local fans come together to support the Lakers football team. Game days create a sense of shared excitement that extends beyond the field into the surrounding campus community.

The facility is easily accessible from the central campus and offers ample parking nearby. Visitor amenities include restrooms, concession stands, and accessible entrances for those with mobility needs.

The playing surface was lowered eight feet in 2012 to allow four additional rows of seating within the horseshoe configuration. This creative approach let the university expand capacity without spreading the structure across a larger footprint.
