Biddle Field Renovations Progressing
Summer 2008

The Biddle Field facelift swings into full force this summer as crews work to complete the project before the start of the academic year. The project will reach its culmination on Sept. 19 when Dickinson hosts Franklin & Marshall College for Dickinson's first night game under the newly installed lights. The game also marks the 1000th football game in Dickinson's history and the 100th time Dickinson and F&M have clashed on the gridiron.
