Why would the BOE spend $$$$ on the old field field and not be able to use those facilities during the instructional day at the high school. You are talking about a lot of money to turf a field and build a field house with dressing rooms and weight room facilities. The field house could be used for track teams to dress and store equipment. PE classes could walk outside and use the facility even when the weather is wet. No mud. The old field has tradition, but there comes a time when school district has to move on to provide what is best for all KIDS. They are trying to create a state of the art facility at the high school.
