Noblesville Schools announced Nov. 16 that its school board has approved the installation of new turf at the football stadium, Hare Chevrolet Field.
The district said the current turf is nearing the end of its lifespan, and that turf management is critical in providing a safe playing surface for student-athletes.
“We have been carefully monitoring the condition of our turf and have had to recently restrict its use by outside organizations to preserve safe conditions for our students,” said Jeff Bragg, director of operations for Noblesville Schools. “The new turf will provide us a safe playing surface at Hare for several more years.”
The district says it’s aiming for June 2017 installation and also is looking into long-term options for the stadium, although no decisions have been made.
