Albright College Athletics

Shirk Stadium, dedicated in 1925 and home to the Albright Lions for over 90 years, underwent major renovations in 2005, turning it into one of the top Division III football stadiums in the nation.

The original home grandstand, built nearly a century ago, was replaced with a new building that seats 3,000 spectators while providing locker rooms, training facilities, and a laundry room for the Lion football, men’s and women’s soccer, men's and women's lacrosse, and field hockey teams. A state-of-the-art press box sits atop the home grandstand, giving both visiting media and VIP’s a first-class place to watch the game. The natural-grass playing surface was replaced with A-turf, an artificial turf surface that will allow multi-sport play in the new stadium. The stadium also features top-of-the-line lighting that will allow for night games to be played throughout the year.

A new grandstand on the visitors’ side seats 2,000 spectators, giving Shirk Stadium a total seating capacity of 5,000. Standing room for spectators is also available at either end zone.

A new main entrance, concession stands, and restroom areas sit at the south end of the stadium.
