HHS Stadium Project

This webpage is dedicated to keeping our community informed about the exciting journey of enhancing our facilities at the HHS Stadium for all students, athletes, and programs across the Derry Township School District. As we navigate the approval and construction phases of our new stadium, we aim to share updates, address questions, and celebrate milestones along the way.

Since 2006, Hershey High School has had the privilege of calling Hersheypark Stadium home for our regular season football games, thanks to a generous Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hershey Entertainment & Resorts. However, on July 29, 2024, we received the required three-year notice of the MOU’s conclusion. With Hersheypark increasingly hosting concerts and events, the time has come for us to build a stadium of our own—a space that truly reflects the spirit and pride of Derry Township School District.

While we will always cherish our time at Hersheypark Stadium, the prospect of playing on home turf fills us with excitement. A new stadium means:

  • Greater scheduling flexibility to enhance the trojajn athletics experience.
  • A more accessible location for our families, with convenient parking and the ability to walk to games.
  • The true ‘Friday Night Lights’ atmosphere, with packed bleachers and an electrifying community presence.
  • Potential to host additional events, such as band events and athletic tournaments.

Our Trojans continue to have success in their athletic edeavors, and making a strong post-season runs. Hosting games on campus will give us the flexibility to continue such journeys without logistical hurdles. With our new track and turf ready, the final step is adding seating to accommodate our enthusiastic fans.

We know this transition may bring nostalgia for many, but we are committed to making it as smooth and exciting as possible. Stay tuned to this page, and Board Meeting updates for the latest news as we work toward making this dream a reality.
