Carroll College announces $5M upgrade for Nelson Stadium

Carroll College officials on Tuesday announced a $5 million Nelson Stadium Enhancement Project that, by the start of the 2024 football season, will bring state-of-the-art synthetic turf and stadium lights.

President John Cech said the upgrade will increase potential usage of the 22-year-old facility. It is now used for five Carroll home football games, home soccer matches, Helena and Capital high school graduation ceremonies, and a few other activities.

“This project, like never before, will bring us together to celebrate our state, our community, our wonderful young athletes and this Helena community,” Cech said.

Roughly $710,000 has already been raised toward the college’s goal, and turf from Shaw Sports Turf is ordered, but the remaining funds are needed by the spring when officials hope to break ground.
