Bob Hall serves as the football equipment manager for Augustana, though his contributions to the Viking family reach far behind those duties.
Hall and his wife Kari have supported the program in many other ways. In the fall of 2007, the Halls donated $6.1 million for the construction of the new on-campus football stadium. The facility was named Kirkeby-Over Stadium in honor of Kari’s parents.
In recent years, the Halls purchased a trailer to transport equipment for road games, new uniforms and weight training equipment for the team.
In April 2006, the Halls donated $1 million for a new football locker room and training facility. The facility is part of the Hall Football Complex and Sanford Gymnasium. The complex is named in honor of Bob and Kari Hall and Bob's father and mother, the late Bill and Irene Hall.
For their generous support of Viking football, the Halls received the 2004 Milt and Clara Harvey Award, which is presented annually to an individual in recognition of their financial support of athletics at Augustana.
