 Bill Clark Homes, led by co-owners Lance and Heath Clark, previously made the largest investment in Pirate Club’s 63-year history. Their contribution finalized funding for the Isley Indoor Performance Center and spearheaded efforts to close out the baseball project.

“We are so grateful for the continued generosity of Bill Clark Homes and the impact they have on our student-athletes,” Executive Associate AD for Revenue Generation/Pirate Club Executive Director Ryan Robinson said. “With this expansion, Clark-LeClair Stadium will not only offer an incredible home-field advantage but also a state-of-the-art facility for our successful baseball program.”

“This amazing act of generosity from Lance and Heath Clark of Bill Clark Homes is helping us cross the finish line on a project that will have a lasting impact on our program,” said Pirates head coach Cliff Godwin, who personally invested $100,000 into the project. “With our fan base and Pirate Club support behind us, I look forward to breaking ground soon.”
