UWF to celebrate Darrell Gooden Stadium construction milestone Wednesday

The University of West Florida will host a topping out ceremony Wednesday to mark a major construction milestone for the new Darrell Gooden Stadium. The event, scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at PenAir Field on the UWF Pensacola Campus, will celebrate the placement of the final structural beam — a traditional construction milestone marking the completion of a building's structural framework.

Attendees will have the opportunity to sign the final beam before it is raised into place as part of the ceremony. The stadium project represents a significant investment in UWF's athletic and campus facilities infrastructure.

Media are invited to cover the event. PenAir Field is located at 11000 University Parkway in Pensacola. For more information, contact UWF at news@uwf.edu or 850-503-6510.
