Gilmour Academy is taking the athlete and fan experience to the next level with some major upgrades at its stadium.
For 75 years, Gilmour has only been able to host daytime athletic events.It will mark the first night game in the school’s history — under lights — as the Lancers takes on Rhodes for the highly anticipated kickoff to high school football.However, the newly installed lights on Weber Stadium are a huge talking point.“It’s an absolute game changer. Football’s meant to be played in high school on Friday nights.
Thanks to generous alumni, staff, parents, and outside donor, they successfully secured the funds for the nearly $500,000 upgrades. “We’ve been just very blessed by the philanthropy and the loyal support of our alumni, our parents, our trustees and our community," said Kathy Kenny, Head of School for Gilmour Academy.
Over the last several years, the academy made some major changes to Weber Stadium. A new turf, track and other cosmetic enhancements were recently completed.“It’s surreal, but I think this is a great experience for everyone,” said O’Toole. Gilmour officials say they are truly grateful to the community members from the village of Gates Mills for their support in this endeavor.“These are a far cry from the old stadium lights from the past that lit up a whole neighborhood. These drop the lights in a very confined footprint — right onto the field so we don’t have to worry about spillover," said Ray Murphy, Chief Advancement Strategy Officer Gilmour Academy.
