INSTITUTE, W.Va. -- The West Virginia State University football team is scheduled to play its next two home games at UC Stadium at Laidley Field. The two affected contests include Mountain East Conference (MEC) matchups with Frostburg State on Saturday, Sept. 11th and Alderson Broaddus on Saturday, Oct. 2nd. The Frostburg State game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. kickoff while the Alderson Broaddus game is set for a 7 p.m. start.

The accommodations to play West Virginia State's first two home games of the 2021 season at Laidley Field were made due to the ongoing project to install artificial turf, stadium lighting, and new bleachers at Lakin-Ray Field at Dickerson Stadium. The renovation project was officially announced on Aug. 24th with the plan to be completed in time for this year's Homecoming game against UNC Pembroke on Saturday, Oct. 16th.
