James "Red" Hayes '32 Football Locker Room renovation
While your Wildcats continue to dominate on the field, we are failing short of the competition as our locker room does not provide our players with the functionality and enhancements worthy of their achievements.
The James "Red" Hayes '32 Football Locker Room was last renovated over 30 years ago. In comparison, every other CAA team has renovated their locker room in the past 10 years. This project is long overdue.
