This is exciting news! https://www.facebook.com/salem.schools.5 Very exciting news. I had spoke with Seth Hobson last night and he said this went through... only replacing the press box, though? Which is VERY much needed to be replaced, but how old is the stadium itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard any specifics on the press box but it looks like it was also approved and was definitely due to be replaced. The stands themselves seem to be in good shape still. I believe they were put in in the early 90's. Could use a good power wash though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome they're investing in the youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we were approved for upgrades for the entire South Harrison School Corporation last fall. Athletic upgrades include turf on the football field this summer (soccer and football will both play there), new track after the turf, and new locker room facilities ready for the 2025 season.

Wow, that will be a great change! A lot of these fields in this area haven't had major improvements in decades. They were nice at the time but times change.

I can see that. Scottsburg and Pekin both have newer hybrid fields I believe. They seem to be good shape. I would bet North will jump on shortly after Corydon's goes in.

I mean, those are two pretty solid fields. Two of the better grass fields, consistently, that I've ever coached/played on. Salem/Corydon fields were poor. (just like ours was before we replaced it)... again, not a shot at either of those schools, just the reality. NH's field isn't bad, huge crown, which was annoying as a QB. They also have hills in the back of each endzone lol Edited January 24 by btownqbcoach1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonefball Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Any school that has girls/boys soccer, marching band and football, should have turf. Sounds like the majority of the MSC is finally getting that figured out, the rest will follow suit. Tough sell if it’s just for the football team and the school (and community in turn) has to foot the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also don't really have anyone in the community that cares to have soccer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
