New Monacan High School Field
- Thread starter EPJr
- Start date
Friday night football games at Monacan and Lloyd C. Bird high schools could look very different. The grass football fields at the two county schools are slated to be replaced with synthetic turf., with other high schools to follow.
Josh Davis, chief operations officer for Chesterfield County Public Schools, announced the turf field initiative during a joint work session between CCPS and the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 8. The initiative calls for replacing existing grass football fields at each of the county’s 10 high schools with synthetic turf at a cost of $2 million per field.
Officials say the new fields will be available for community use and will accommodate a variety of youth sports, including football, lacrosse, soccer and field hockey.
“We’re excited about this opportunity to do this in partnership between the schools and the county,” Davis said in a recent interview. “It’s really going to benefit our students, community and perhaps even our visitors.”
