Gordy Aamoth, Jr. Memorial Stadium
Hopkins, MN
This
stadium, located on the Hopkins campus of the Blake School,
was built in honor of Gordy Aamoth Jr., a 1988 Blake graduate
and a victim of the September 11th tragedy at the World Trade
Center.
The Gordy
Aamoth Jr. Memorial Stadium is adjacent to the Blake School’s
hockey arena and includes bleacher seating for 800 spectators,
a press box, concessions and restrooms.
An adjoining
courtyard provides students, parents, and alumni with a contemplative
gathering space. The gathering space features a "Spirit
Rock" that incorporates a piece of steel recovered from
the World Trade Center site to create a sculptural focal point
commemorating all the victims of September 11.
