Ripon College celebrated the official grand opening of its new on-campus stadium, Hopp Stadium, Saturday. Special recognitions honored Steve Hopp, Class of 1983, and Meg Hopp after whom the new stadium is named, and Hall of Fame football coach Ron Ernst, who retired from Ripon College after the 2022 football season. Athletics Director Chris Schumacher says, “Hopp Stadium is an outstanding campus stadium and offers an exemplary setting for future athletic competitions and outdoor celebrations of all types.” The day saw the women’s soccer team play Monmouth College in the morning, and the Red Hawks football team pulled off a stunning 12 to nothing victory over previously undefeated Lake Forest College in the afternoon. Ripon plays its final home game of the season Saturday hosting Monmouth. (Ripon College photos-below Ripon College President Victoria Folse and the Hopps).
