DGeye: Turf's Up

North High's new synthetic football field is taking shape.

The new at North High School is now in place, complete with Trojan-purple end zones.

The field was rolled out July 9, with South High set to receive its synthetic turf next week, said Jill Browning, District 99 communications director.

"Our goal is to complete the North High improvements by mid-August and the South High improvements by mid-September," Browning said. "After the stadium turf and stormwater detention systems are complete, the running track and field events—long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault and shot put facilities—will be improved."
