Construction of a Football Varsity House beyond the western endzone commenced in Fall 2006 and was completed before the 2007 season. The renovations have made the stadium one of the best venues in all NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision. On September 1, 2007, Lafayette opened its season hosting the first ever night football game at Fisher Field. Lafayette throttled Marist College of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference 49-10.〔Lafayette Leopards 2007 Gameday Central http://goleopards.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/lafa-fb-07-gameday.html〕 The win was capped with a fireworks display. ==Hosting the Easton-Phillipsburg game== Fisher Field at Fisher Stadium acts as neutral site for the traditional high school football rivalry between Easton Area High School and Phillipsburg High School.
