How Ryan Seacrest is giving his old high school football team something it never had
After years of planning and fundraising, it’s finally all systems go for this Georgia high school football team’s future home.
Dunwoody High School's football team is set to have a new stadium to call their own, thanks to the efforts of the community and a generous donation from former player and television host Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest, who played defensive back for the Wildcats in 1993, donated over $1 million to help bring the vision of a new stadium to life.
The community rallied together to raise an additional $1.5 million through the "Bring It Home Dunwoody" campaign, which will fund stadium amenities like 2,000 new seats, a press box, and restrooms. With the project finally receiving county approval in November, Seacrest Stadium is set to break ground in early November 2025 and be completed before the 2027 football season.
This will be the first time Dunwoody has had a football stadium of its own, giving the team a proper place to call home and the opportunity to host playoff games.
