Hawks’ Erickson Gives $100,000 To Alma Mater

Seattle Seahawks coach Dennis Erickson has donated $100,000 toward the renovation of the football stadium at Montana State, where Erickson was once a quarterback and assistant coach.

“If it wasn’t for Montana State, obviously, I wouldn’t have had the success that I’ve had,” Erickson said Saturday. “That’s probably the biggest reason. Montana State means a lot to me.”

Erickson made the donation while he was in Bozeman for the Jan Stenerud Celebrity Golf Classic, a tournament that raises money for Bobcat athletics.

Montana State will begin construction on the first phase of its project to renovate the 25-year-old Reno H. Sales Stadium within the next 10 days.
