PARKER FIELD-MCCOOL
STADIUM TURF FUND
In the summer of 2014, Delta State University football fans
were excited to see the program begin refurbishing Parker Field-McCool Stadium
with the installation of artificial turf. After just three seasons on the new
surface, issues with the substructure of the install have made the field
unplayable and forced our administration into replacing the entire field.
"The safety of our
student-athletes, coaches and fans are always at the forefront of every
decision we make here at Delta State," director of athletics Ronnie
Mayers said. "Our goal right now is to
aggressively address the field and work on a long-term solution that meets the
needs of our program."
WHY
GIVE?
Your donation to the Parker Field-McCool
Stadium Turf Fund will insure that our student-athletes, marching band, spirit
squads, coaches and staff compete and train on the highest quality,
industry-tested artificial turf available today.
Our facility is not only used for DSU
Athletic events! Parker Field-McCool Stadium hosts concerts, gatherings, high
school sporting events, and civic organizations while serving as a center-piece
for our campus and community.
We need your support! At a time when state budgets are limited, your financial support is needed more than ever before. Your contributions to the Statesmen and Lady Statesmen have never wavered and we thank you for your continued service to the #DSUFamily. To donate to this cause CLICK HERE.
