The Tuskegee football stadium got a makeover.
The school on Monday posted a tweet unveiling new field turf recently installed at Abbott Memorial Stadium just in time for the Golden Tigers homecoming game on Nov. 5 against Miles.
Tuskegee had been playing home games at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery as work is being done at Abbott Memorial.

- New football facility, including locker rooms, located outside end zone opposite Logan Hall

“I want everyone to make arrangements and plans to be here in November 2022,” said athletic director and head football coach Reginald Ruffin in a promotion video.
