📖About Fisher Stadium

Fisher Stadium opened in 1926 as Fisher Field, built through the fund-raising efforts and personal contributions of Thomas Fisher (Class of 1888). The original 18,000-seat structure underwent a $33 million transformation in 2006-2007, creating a state-of-the-art facility renamed Fisher Stadium in honor of James Fisher (Class of 1977) for his significant renovation donation.

Thomas Fisher, Lafayette College Class of 1888, almost single-handedly raised the $445,000 needed for construction through fund-raising efforts and a sizable personal contribution. The stadium consolidated Lafayette's football operations and provided a premier home venue for the Leopards.
