The Palomar College Athletics Stadiums project has been a collaborative effort that brought together Erickson-Hall Construction Co. and the Palomar Community College District.
“Being chosen to construct these new and important facilities for Palomar College is an honor,” said Mat Gates, President of Erickson-Hall. “Our team is working hard to deliver two innovative stadiums for Palomar College, each that provides spaces for student-athletes to train, compete and enjoy, and for spectators to watch various sports with exceptional visibility.”
