WEST POINT, NY — Turner Construction Company marked a milestone in the renovation of the Michie Stadium at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, by celebrating the topping out of the new east stands.
The topping out, a traditional event that signifies the completion of the highest structural element, underscores continued progress on the transformation of the 36,000-seat stadium, home to the Army Black Knights for the past 101 years. The modernization of the east stands will offer fans an enhanced game-day experience, with a full 360-degree view of the playing field and the Hudson Valley landscape.
“We are proud to reach this key milestone at such a storied venue,” said Luigi Morfea, Construction Executive, Turner Construction Company. “Our team has developed and implemented a comprehensive logistics plan to ensure that Michie Stadium remains operational for football and lacrosse throughout construction. It’s a privilege to help preserve the legacy of this stadium while delivering modern amenities for future generations of fans.”
The project is on track to be completed in time for the 2026 football season.
