This complex includes a football stadium featuring a turf field, eight lane track, locker room facilities, multiple bathroom facilities, multiple food vending facilities, a video scoreboard, and seating for 5,000 people. The complex will also feature a Soccer field, Tennis courts, and multiple parking lots. The stadium will be constructed on land that was being used as a practice field for the marching band, and the new Soccer field and Tennis courts will be constructed west of the new stadium where a wooded area is currently. Parking lots will be constructed on the west and south sides of the new stadium. This project is projected to cost seven to eight million dollars with most of the funding coming from private sources. This new complex was completed in August 2015.
