Pace Academy plans to complete construction of a stadium and track in time for the school’s first home football game of the 2014 season in August.

The stadium will be named Walsh Field in honor of Leigh and Tim Walsh, who contributed to the school’s $35 million capital campaign that raised money to build a new Upper School.

The facility, located in Cobb County six miles from the school’s main campus, features bleacher seating, a track and a grass field suitable for all sports.
