Bill Buxton Stadium

Bill Buxton Stadium is the home of the football team and soccer teams, and it is also the home site for the Kip Janvrin Open for the track and field teams. Bill Buxton Stadium is seated at the heart of Simpson’s campus. It has seen many improvements in it’s 40 plus years of athletic competitions. Most notably, a stand alone concession stand was built in the late 1990’s, and then the stadium received a new playing surface (Astro-Play) and resurfaced the track in the summer of 2001. The next improvement came in the summer of 2005 with the scoreboards being redone. A cement sidewalk encompassing the track and cement plaza in front of the concession stand completed the newest enhancement during the summer of 2007. The latest improvement came in the summer of 2009 and saw a new ticket booth and arched gateway installed in the southeast entrance.

All of this has brought us to this point for our current Building For Champions project with Bill Buxton Stadium. Three phases have been established with this project.

Phase 1

• Southeast Ticket Booth - completed
• North End Ticket Booths – completed
• Perimeter pillars and fencing - completed
• East bleacher brick enclosure

Phase 2

• Donor Plaza

Phase 3

• Renovation of main stadium/press box

These additions will be instrumental in the future of Simpson athletics and Buxton Stadium. The stadium seats 5,000 spectators, while hosting approximately fifteen college and high school football games, forty soccer games and ten track meets. Your support will help rebuild our stadium, and keep our championship traditions alive and well as we look to the future.
