With a new playing surface, installed prior to the 2001 season, and other stadium enhancements currently under way, the venerable facility is in the midst of an overhaul that will help maintain its lofty status for years to come. This fall, construction of the $7 million Hoffman Press Box is slated for completion. The new press box will house a full-service media operations center with state-of-the-art radio and television broadcast booths. Work on the $33 million Kimsey Athletic Center and Randall Hall is ongoing just outside the south end zone. The initial phase of the project is on track for completion next spring. The facility will house state-of-the-art locker rooms, coaches offices, athletic training facilities, equipment rooms, meeting rooms and a large display hall that will highlight Army s vast football history. Randall Hall, the project s second phase, will begin upon completion of the Kimsey Athletic Center. The entire stadium annex is the jewel of an aggressive athletic facilities renovation plan that has seen recent major improvements to Gillis Field House, Shea Stadium, Johnson Stadium at Doubleday Field, Clinton Field and Malek Courts. The newly minted Lichtenberg Tennis Center just completed its third full academic year. This past spring, Army dedicated the new Gross Olympic Center, which provides the Army gymnastics team with a state-of-the-art home while also lending extra indoor space for the Black Knights basketball programs. Realizing the need for a permanent athletic field as Army s football program continued to assert itself nationally, West Point officials selected a patch of meadow land adjacent to Lusk Reservoir and within the shadow of historic Fort Putnam. Construction of Michie Stadium was completed in 1924, just in time for Army s 35th football campaign. In 78 previous campaigns in Michie Stadium, the Black Knights have compiled a remarkable record of (.726). Six years ago, the Black Knights posted more home wins than any previous Army team while Only 15 Division I-A stadiums, and just six located east of the Mississippi River, are older than fabled Michie Stadium. forging a perfect 6-0 mark at Michie, the 28th undefeated home campaign in Academy grid annals. In addition to 28 unblemished seasons, there have been two undefeated but tied campaigns at Michie. Following a tie in the Dedication Game in the home finale of 1924, the Cadets won 39 straight contests in Michie Stadium, spanning more than six seasons. Only 15 Division I-A stadiums, and just six located east of the Mississippi River, are older than fabled Michie Stadium. The original stadium structure was formally dedicated to the memory of Dennis Mahan Michie, who was instrumental in starting the game of football at the U.S. Military Academy in It was Michie who organized, managed and coached the first football team in history at West Point. There have been several facelifts 254

2 BLAIK FIELD AT MICHIE STADIUM since that first game in 1924 when Army defeated St. Louis University Temporary East stands and upper stands were added before construction of permanent East stands was completed in In the summer of 1969 an upper deck on the West side was added, boosting the seating capacity to 41,684. Capacity has since been adjusted to 39,929. Army s most prolific attendance came in 1972 when the Black Knights averaged a record 41,123 fans. Army ranked among the nation s attendance leaders in 2000, averaging 38,516 per game, or 96.5 percent of Michie Stadium s capacity. A major change occurred on the playing field in 1977 when AstroTurf replaced the natural grass surface. The artificial turf greatly reduced maintenance costs and guaranteed the Army team an excellent practice facility for use all fall while providing for multiple uses. SuperTurf replaced the AstroTurf in 1984, which was in turn replaced by AstroTurf 8 in In the summer of 2001, Michie Stadium received yet another renovation as the aging AstroTurf8 surface was replaced with AstroPlay, a cushy new artificial surface that gives players the look and feel of playing on natural grass. In honor of legendary mentor Earl Red Blaik, the Academy christened the Michie Stadium playing surface Blaik Field in Blaik, a gridiron innovator, compiled an 18-year Army record of and brought Army its only three national championships (1944, 1945, 1946). The winningest coach in Army annals, Blaik is enshrined in the College Football Foundation Hall of Fame. The Black Knights honored the dedication in grand style, trouncing Ball State Directly adjacent to the stadium is Howze Field, spacious and well-groomed with its natural grass surface. A well-equipped weight room, under the direction of Scott Swanson, is home to an outstanding strength development program. In addition to the strength room, Michie Stadium also houses equipment rooms, training rooms and a luxurious, carpeted locker room. Here the players are free to unwind from a busy academic schedule while preparing for practice. When the multitude of construction projects around the stadium is completed, the Michie Stadium complex will rate as one of marquis athletic facilities in the nation. S.I.

Three hours before kickoff the cadets will march on review across the academy Plain. Later, at Michie Stadium, the hair on your arms will stand at attention as paratroopers deliver the game ball, the players take the field through a cordon of classmates, and a cannon blasts every time Army scores. Sports Illustrated Aug. 23, 1999 Somewhere in the world of college football, there might be a more beautiful place where young men can pull on their uniform and play an autumn game. But right now, it is impossible to imagine such a thing.... John Lopez Houston Chronicle Nov. 8, 1996 It sits majestically on the high banks of the Hudson River, a stoneand-granite monument to such time-honored principles as strength, honor and discipline. If you can t appreciate the United States Military Academy on a football weekend, you re probably missing the whole point of college sports.
