It must be tough enough playing on dirt, let along painted dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! And some would say they just love "grass" fields. Notre Dame Stadium was terrible until they installed Field Turf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Arlington is now a middle school, then they keep the field in shape just for Cathedral? I'm assuming Cathedral pays IPS for the right to use that field. I also saw where Roncalli played Attucks at Northwest, another IPS school that is now only a middle school. Attucks does have a home field, but maybe not in the best shape.

Attucks does have a home field, but maybe not in the best shape. We have someone helping with the field maintenance. Some Cathedral grads have a lawn care business and the turf has been pretty good this year mainly because there hasn't been much wet weather. Also the field is not used except for our games. There's no band practice or anything else, that I'm aware of, on the field. The facility is still quite nice. I don't know what the financial arrangement with Arlington or IPS. Someone who hangs out here may know more about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attucks does have a home field, but maybe not in the best shape. The field at Attucks is barely suitable for practice. It looks almost abandoned. It's sad to see the facilities that IPS schools have to use compared to some of the palaces in the communities surrounding them. It would be nice for IPS to have one nice football field (Tech?) and let the other schools use it, like schools in other states do if they are in the same school district.

Pretty sure that lease has been discussed, but the length of that lease is where the discussion has become stalemate. Cathedral wants the lease to be long enough where they are comfortable investing in the property, install turf and such. Not sure if this is even actively being discussed any longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard, Tech has a nice, upgraded facility, mostly due to the NFL. When Indy hosted the 2012 Super Bowl, the NFL had or maybe still has a program that helps football programs in inner city schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
