Re: New SDSU Football Stadium Site Plan
There are several in the Brookings community that would like to see the High School build their own new stadium. (I have been told that the area where the little league baseball fields are currently would be a preferred site - although I don't think any planning has been done for it). The current stadium is probably too large for the HS games and sort of kills the Atmosphere. The new stadium would likely be worse.
With that said, I was told by one of the High School baseball coaches that the bids for the new turf at SDSU includes artificial turf at both baseball and softball in addition to the football stadium. BHS has been in contact with the same turf company, and is expecting a significant discount for new artificial for Bob Sheldon Field (Baseball and Football - currently used for JV games, practices, etc.). The discount would be shared by all 5 venues getting the upgrade, since it would mean keeping the equipment and personnel in one place for an extended period of time, and could reduce the QTY of maintenance equipment required.
