This will be done on Friday night 9/6 when Newark has opener with Glasgow. I believe that this will be Newark's only home night game this year and they will be bringing in temporary lights.

At this event CSD will be renaming the field after Coach Butch Simpson.

I wish they would have scheduled this for Thursday or Saturday as it wouldn't conflict with other events. In any event, Congrats Coach Simpson.

I thought it was named after Hoffman. Is this something tongue turning like Butch Simpson Field at Bod Hoffman Stadium?

Yes...it will be Butch Simpson Field at Bob Hoffman Stadium. Dutch Hoffman had a leading role in getting this done.

That was a painful experience. Later that day, CR beat St. Marks if I am not mistaken.

The Newark HC that day was the late Rocky Rees. Butch took over as HC in 1977.
