Learn about the various naming opportunitites available at Gummeson Grounds: Home of Mike Bourger ’44 Field at Oaks Stadium
It has been more than one year since Gummeson Grounds: Home of Mike Bourger ’44 Field at Oaks Stadium opened at Lafayette’s Metzgar Fields Athletic Complex. Spectators are now able to watch matches in roof-covered seating with chair backs. The facility, which is now the premier soccer venue in the Patriot League, also features a new press box, tiered outdoor terraces for additional viewing, and a new irrigation system. The stadium was made possible through a lead gift from Peter Gummeson ’80 and brought to the finish line by the collective generosity of many alumni, parents, and friends who supported the project since it first came to fruition in 2022.
For more information on how you can add your name, the name of a loved one, or your group’s name to the Gummeson Grounds facility, contact Joe Samaritano ’91, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Advancement at (610) 330-5047 or via email at samaritj@lafayette.edu.
