The newly installed stadium lights at Bluffton University's Alumni Field will be celebrated during the football home opener at 6:00 p.m. on Sept. 17, when the Beavers take on Adrian College.

A dedication ceremony with donors Randy and Debbie Gade will take place during half-time. Randy Gade is a 1973 Bluffton alumnus who competed in Bluffton athletics. The couple live in southern Florida and are retired after selling their company, Accutech Instrumentation Inc.

Tickets for Salzman Stadium sets must be purchased online at www.bluffton.edu/tickets or through the HomeTown Fan App available on Google Play or the App Store.

With the addition of stadium lights, the university looks forward to

• New student engagement opportunities on campus
• Serving as the competitive turf field for Bluffton men’s and women’s soccer
• Practice space for other teams

The campus community also looks forward to Salzman Stadium-Alumni Field possibly hosting area high school playoff games.

A member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, Bluffton student-athletes compete on 18 NCAA DIII men’s and women’s athletic teams.
