Goodman Pitch-East Symbolic Grand Opening

Madison College to hold Symbolic Goodman Pitch-East Grand Opening

August 30 ceremony to open new facility will occur between men's, women's doubleheader

Though it has already seen plenty of action since opening for use in the spring, the Irwin A. & Robert D. Goodman Pitch-East will be officially unveiled with a symbolic grand opening on August 30. The shiny, new home for Madison College men's and women's soccer will host a doubleheader of action that night with a special ceremony to occur between matches. Highlighting the symbolic ceremony will be a gift presentation to E.G. Schramka, Executive Director of the Goodman Foundation, which donated $6.7-million to renovate the college's existing softball and soccer fields to create the Irwin A. & Robert D. Goodman Sports Complex.

The WolfPack men open North Central Community College Conference (N4C) play at 4:00 p.m. against Joliet Junior College, with the ceremony slated to begin following the match's conclusion at around 5:45 p.m. The nightcap will feature another N4C opener as the WolfPack women welcome rival, Rock Valley College, in their first-ever match at the new venue - the men defeated Malcolm X College 2-1 in their home opener earlier this week. The ceremony will include both soccer squads, as well as representatives of Madison College.

Fans attending either of the games will receive a voucher for free admission to any 2017 WolfPack soccer match. All fans will also have an opportunity to attempt a penalty kick on the new 100% synthetic playing surface during halftime of each game.

General Admission ticket prices are as follows: Adults (18 & Up): $4 | Students (11-17): $2 | Children (10 & Under): Free | Free Admission for Madison College students with a valid Madison College OneCard.
