Cougar Football Fans,

Thank you for visiting the martinstadium.org website and your interest in the Martin Stadium renovation.
When I was a player, my job was clear: perform my duties to the best of my ability. If I did that, I would place the Cougars in the best possible position to win. As head football coach, that job has not changed.
Since December 2006, a “job” has been ongoing at Martin Stadium that, when completed, will clearly give WSU one of the best college football settings in all of America and, yes, place this program in the best possible position to win.
Washington State is the ultimate college campus, and Martin Stadium is a special venue. So few universities have their football stadiums literally sitting in the middle of campus; we have that here at WSU. The family atmosphere, along with the togetherness of a campus and community, is as strong as I can imagine anywhere in the United States.
The stadium renovation plays a critical role in our recruiting efforts. To be able to show the atmosphere that the facility can bring, along with the excitement that it will offer fans and athletes, in addition to the home field advantage we must have, will allow us to recruit top-tier talent.
When you set foot into Martin Stadium on September 6 to watch us play Cal, you will have the opportunity to see the completion of Phases I and II of the renovation. I know that through the support of Cougars like you, we will be successful in the funding efforts to complete Phases III and IV.
Thank you once again for your interest and support of this project, the Cougar football program, and Cougar Athletics. Know that with your support, you are making a difference in our efforts to recruit and retain the high-achieving, high-character kids that we are looking for. Go Cougs!
