Construction continues to be a major part of campus as various projects are getting started or nearing completion. So many exciting projects are going on that will positively impact Greyhound student-athletes and fans in the future! ● Replacement of the turf fields at Murray Stadium and the football stadium occurred in the summer of 2023. Replacement of the turf practice fields north of the football stadium will occur in the fall of 2024. ● Construction of the Greyhound Activity Center started in the spring of 2023. When the project is complete in the fall of 2024, the facility will feature an indoor, full-size turf football field. It will be used for the Marching Greyhounds, other performing arts groups, various school events, and the Athletics Department. ● The natatorium project continues on the north end of the academic building on campus. It is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2024. A natatorium complex will be in place with two, 50 meter pools for use by Carmel swimmers when everything is finished. The existing natatorium will be renovated during the last half of 2024 with scheduled completion in early 2025. The new natatorium will feature 1400 seats, a separate diving well, and therapy pool opportunities for Greyhound student-athletes in all sports programs. ● A much needed facelift to the stadium complex will start in the fall of 2023 with the groundbreaking of the south end zone building. The structure will feature two buildings with a connecting arch tunnel entry gate for spectators at future events. The buildings will contain public restrooms, a concession stand, incident command center for events, and a locker room to be used by freshmen football in the fall and girls track and field in the spring. ● Finally, the design phase is well underway for the renovation and expansion of the home side bleacher structure at the football stadium. Conceptually, the following areas will be part of the project: Concrete rehabilitation, expansion of the training room, redesign of locker room space, new concession stand service, new ramping and ticketing areas, exterior fencing, updated press box concept, extended concourse square footage. As with any construction project, there will be a lot of dust and inconveniences, but the end result will be great for our Greyhounds. The home football schedule will feature some of the best teams in the Midwest as the Hounds will play state champions from Missouri, Michigan, and Kentucky in 3 of the first 4 games of the season. Five home games highlight a terrific lineup of match-ups. On August 25th, the Hounds will face national power Christian Brothers College out of St. Louis. The Cadets are a private, all-boys school that has captured 4 of the last 6 large school state championships in Missouri, including the last two titles. The second home game will be a rematch of the 2021 Hail Mary Game between Detroit King and Carmel. The Crusaders are 2-time defending state champions in Michigan, winning 5 titles in the last 8 seasons. Lawrence North travels to Carmel for the Bill Duke Trophy game on September 15th. Long-time rival North Central will be the 2023 Homecoming opponent on September 22nd. The last regular season home game will be on October 6th against 9-time state champion Warren Central. We are excited to share our Friday nights with the four-time National Champion Marching Greyhounds as they will perform at each home game! Congratulations to this amazing group as they won the Bands of America title in 2022! The Athletic Department continues its partnership with GoFan, a digital ticketing company, to bring an easy and convenient digital platform to your Friday nights.
