Yeah I figured they would have no problem getting done by football season. I was by there last week and looks a lot different. Someone on Twitter sent me a time lapse of a high school football field getting turf in Missouri and it was very interesting. Looks like a very big process but will be well worth it when they get done.

It shouldn't take as long in the flatlands of West TN. When they did ours, the laser confirmed what we all knew, that one end zone was over a foot lower than the other. The field has been used for close to 100 years. They also shifted it about 3 yards. If you look at the satellite view the 50 yard line is about three yards from the bleacher center. Congratulations.

Don’t know if we got anything for alcoee but Milan had the talent on the team to have been playing them last year in Cookeville. Was lacking in other areas. That is changing. Hopefully we will see them soon.

My understanding is the City of Milan owns the field & stadium? If this is true, good for them for investing in Milan school’s athletics 

City of Milan sold the football stadium to Milan Special School District four years ago for $1.

Give all the old farts in Milan something to do this summer. Go to the coffee shop then inspect the turf construction. Pretty big operation, takes a while. You'll love the carpet

All the rubble is gone. Nothing but the field, field house and scoreboard.  They are gonna beginning working in the next couple of weeks. They want to be done by graduation. A little ambitious but they will definitely be ready by football season. 

Ya'll getting carpet?

I don't know the answer but they are due for some fixin up. Its been a long while.  

Now if I were to guess I would say its combination of donations from locals, businesses and the qb club. I doubt the MMSD could get that kind of money spent on a stadium  with out the state putting some folks in prison but I may be wrong it is just a guess
