Duquesne University will officially dedicate The Keller Fieldhouse at Rooney Field on Saturday, August 6. A ribbon-cutting ceremony at 6 p.m. at the fieldhouse doors will be followed by tours of the facility and a cocktail reception along nearby Academic Walk.

The facility, funded by private donations including a lead gift from Jerome C. Keller, E'65, H'91, includes renovated and expanded locker rooms and offices for Duquesne's football program. It follows the installation of permanent grandstands and a new playing surface at Rooney Field in 2009.

The reception will include a full bar and hors d'oeuvres; admission is $50 per person. For more details and reservations, contact Bryan Colonna at 412.396.5927 or colonna770@duq.edu.
