Work under way to improve back side of Nunley Stadium
|
The trees have been cleared and bulldozer work is still taking place to get the area ready for grass seed. While a nice, grassy slope is the short-term goal, Warren County Middle School principal Betty Wood says the long-term goal is much loftier.
?We?d like to have a restroom and concession stand to compliment the football stadium and the middle school baseball field,? said Wood. ?That area has been pretty much neglected and we wanted to spruce it up to get it more in line with the new stadium.?
Thus far, the work has been a middle school initiative started by the baseball parents. It?s been talked about that the area could also be a potential spot for baseball bleachers.
The visitor?s side of Nunley Stadium could use the upgrade. Last year, port-o-potties were used along with a mobile concession stand.
Thus far, a request for funding hasn?t been formally pitched to the school board, although some school officials are aware of the project.
?We want to get finished with this prep stage first,? said Wood. ?Then we?ll lobby to get the rest. I?ve heard it mentioned that the restroom/ concession stand could be part of a five-year plan, but maybe we can get it done faster than that.?
