As a result of Hurricane Helene and current power outages on Lenoir-Rhyne’s Hickory campus, the Lenoir-Rhyne football game vs. Tusculum has been moved to tomorrow at Shuford Stadium on the campus of Catawba College. Kickoff will be scheduled for 3 p.m.
Shuford Stadium is located on 2295 Yost Street, Salisbury, NC.
The decision to postpone the game was made in the best interest of the safety of the players, coaches, staff, and to allow clean-up operations to continue. As of this afternoon, there is still no power and no internet on most of campus. In addition, many trees are down and many roads are impassable in the Hickory area.
All previously purchased tickets to this event will be accepted. If you would like to attend the game and have not purchased a ticket, they will be available at any of Catawba’s three entrance gates of the football field. Online ticketing for this game has been shut down and will not work.
Gates for this game will open at 2 p.m., one hour before kickoff. All parking is free. Please keep in mind Catawba has other sporting events happening during the day, so some parking lots will be restricted.
Tailgating is allowed. Please be courteous and take trash bags with you as to minimize the impact of trash on Catawba’s campus.
In this now neutral site contest, Lenoir-Rhyne will still be considered the home team, and all Lenoir-Rhyne fans are encouraged to sit on the home side of the stadium. One concession stand will be open for the event.
Live stats and FloSports live stream will still be available. WHKY Radio will not be able to broadcast the game.
Lenoir-Rhyne University wants to give a big thank you to Catawba College and the city of Salisbury for providing the opportunity to play this game.
