If you have traveled down Starr Road this summer, you may have noticed that the turf on our stadium field is currently under construction! This project not only involves new turf on the field but also includes new fencing, a fresh track, new concrete, and a state-of-the-art digital scoreboard. The funding for this initiative was secured through the sale of the district’s Educational Broadband Service (EBS) spectrum license to T-Mobile. We are excited to offer our athletes this enhanced facility and eagerly anticipate welcoming the Trojan community to the updated Streidl Field soon!
