Rains challenge stadium project timeline

The Brillion News

WRIGHTSTOWN – The plans to have a new track and football field ready at Tiger Stadium in time for the September 9 homecoming football game are in some doubt because of heavy rains.

The contractor was to have had the new field landscaped and planted by Friday, June 10, but the land was still not ready for grading and planting as of Thursday, June 16.

District  Buildings and Grounds Director Russ Bowers said that early games – or perhaps all 2016 football games – may have to be played at Walt Maki Memorial Field, the district’s old stadium adjacent to the middle school.
