"With absolute gratitude and hope, we rededicate Lion Stadium. Since 1988, there has been a commitment to constant and continual improvement of campus facilities and student programs. I am grateful to the leadership of the Sisters of Notre Dame, the Cathedral Latin Alumni Association, the Notre Dame Schools Board of Directors, NDCL Athletic Boosters, and to the many people who give so generously to make these efforts possible" shared Dr. Bates, President of Notre Dame Schools.

A special addition to Lion Stadium was a cornerstone from Cathedral Latin School's building at University Circle that is placed in the stadium's plaza inside the home gate. The cornerstone is a tribute to the foundation that the "Men of Latin" set forth, in partnership with the Sisters of Notre Dame, to create the exceptional school community that is Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School today. The dedication plaque beneath the cornerstone reads:
From 1916 to 1979, the "Home of the Lions" in deed and in truth
was Cathedral Latin School in Cleveland's University Circle.
Since 1988, that legacy lives on in the hearts and minds
of the students and alumni of Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School.
May this cornerstone from Cathedral Latin inspire the foundation for today's Lions.
Together, we educate leaders who transform the world, as Jesus did,
by living the truth in love.
"All knowledge comes from Lord God"
