Please be patient with track construction

Athletic Director Greg Whitmore encourages football fans to be patient this week during the home game with Warden. The asphalt surface for the new track is in place, but much work remains to be completed.

The all-weather surface will not be installed until next week, but vehicles will no longer be allowed to drive on to the track so people can watch football games from their cars.

Additionally, a significant amount of the sidelines were torn up during construction. Hydroseeding was expected this week so fans will not be allowed to stand on the sidelines.

Whitmore said fans can stand on the asphalt surface. Flagging has been brought in to clearly mark where the general public is allowed to be.

“It’s not going to be ideal,” Whitmore said. “I really encourage everyone to use the grandstands.”

There will be just one ticket gate.
