Michigan City

So I was over in City today and talked to a person who told me they have made major upgrades in athletic facilities.

There is new turf at Ames Field, new bleachers in the Wolves Den, over $100,000 spent to improve their weight room, and a new design for the Wolf Head Symbol.  This person said their athletic program has quality coaches throughout and could take off big time.

They also are marketing the school corporation with a catchy slogan:  "One City, One Pack"

We will be visiting our annual summer trip to AMES FIELD Tuesday of this upcoming week for some action with MC, Calumet and River Forest. 

Looking forward checking out the new digs.

$5.6 million dollar in capital improvements was announced in February.  Turf replacement at Ames Field, after 50 years new bleachers in the 7,600 seat high school gym, new track at the high school, new roof on one of the elementary schools, and the one I have been complaining about for the last 15 years, new asphalt in the south parking lot at the high school.  Very exited about the improvements.

I was teaching a MC when the new Ames was coming together.  It was a grass field installed by the "Sodfather" Roger Bossert.  The roots were about a foot deep.  Man that was a beautiful field.  But turf is the way to go now.

Good to see all the upgrades...well needed.
