The 87th edition of the Save An Eye All-Star football game will have a new location. The Erie Lions Club announced Thursday they will play the game at Harbor Creek's Paul J. Weitz Stadium. 

The game moves from Veterans Memorial Stadium which had been the traditional site of the game. he Lions Club said in a statement that it voted to test out a new site this year.

“Obviously, Veterans Stadium has a history and tradition unmatched by most facilities,” said Lions Club president Bob Sensor. “We also have great facilities around Erie County and it’s time to showcase those facilities.”

The statement said the Lions Club put out a proposal for this year's game to most schools with turf fields. Some schools were unable to host because of ongoing construction projects.

“Harbor Creek has a superb facility that is easily accessible for all fans and has plenty of parking as well,” Sensor said. “The club will evaluate where to play the game each year based on showing off the best facilities in Erie.”

The Lions Club said they plan to offer space for food trucks to sell items before the game. 

The game will be played Friday, June 27th. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
