Summary
Memorial Field’s aging bleachers and track are being torn down due to serious safety hazards — corrosion, structural instability, and code violations. The city and school district are rebuilding with safer, ADA-compliant designs, including new fields, drainage, and modern stands — all at a $31.7M price tag. In the meantime, a temporary shed will serve as a press box, and salvageable materials from the baseball bleachers will be reused. Plus, the controversial removal of 200 mature pine trees this winter has sparked community backlash. Safety first — but patience is being asked for.
