When will $28.8 million Joe Davis Stadium renovation be complete?

The $28.8 million renovation of Joe Davis Stadium is on track for completion at the end of April despite weather and supply chain issues.

Ricky Wilkinson, Huntsville’s director of General Services, said the rainy weather had been a hindrance but felt field area work would progress once drainage work is completed. He said the supply chain issues dealt with electrical equipment, but said the city had a good “handle on” it.

The contract calls for the completion of the work to be finished at the end of April. That’s when the city will hand operation over to the Huntsville City Football Club’s ownership, which will manage programming at the stadium.

“They (the soccer team) have been a partner of ours ever since the operations agreement was signed last year,” Wilkinson said. He said conversations have been held weekly with HCFC.

“They’ve got a lot of work to do on their side, making sure everything is lining up to get everything going,” he said.
