What are the desired improvements?

The primary goal of FIELDS is to support the costs of installing turf. Turf rentals, maintenance costs, and a large donation should pay for the majority of the turf installation. FIELDS would provide the shortfall should it be necessary.

In the event that FIELDS raises more money than may be required to pay for turf installation, the additional funds will be used for other stadium improvements. Possibilities include:

1) Installation of additional seating capacity. Currently, the stadiums do not qualify to host OHSAA sanctioned tournament events. Increasing seating to the level required to host such events would allow both schools to attract additional sources of revenue for the stadiums.

2) Additional facilities improvements. The restroom and concession facilities have not been upgraded since the schools opened. With new turf, and increased seating capacity (and the additional events that would come from both), there is likely a need to improve these facilities to handle the increased usage.

3) New stadium scoreboards. The current scoreboards are very old technology. With the increased usage that new turf and increased seating would attract, new state-of-the-art scoreboards would be further complement the stadiums.

Who will own the new improvements, including the field turf?

The Lakota School District will continue to own all of the property and related improvements.

Who will prioritize the scheduling of events to occur on the new field?

Contributions to the project will not impact the priority of which field activities are scheduled.  Scheduling of such events will be the responsibility of the school.

The Community Foundation of West Chester Liberty, (a tax-exempt 501c(3) organization), will send you an acknowledgement letter upon receipt of your donation.
