The Atlantic School Board, Wednesday evening, received an update on the Athletic facilities improvement projects. Superintendent Steve Barber says “Our Trojan Bowl is finally looking like a football stadium.”

Concrete crews will pour the north curb separating the track and field. Once that’s done, they’ll move to the baseball/softball fields and begin working on the dugout footings. Once the concrete is poured, Barber said the mason contractor will begin erecting the dugouts.

 

Once the Press Box is finished at the factory, it will be hoisted to the top of the home bleachers. Barber said also, the field is about to final grade. Crews began laying rock for the foundations of the asphalt track, with the first layer set to be installed next week. He said also, the scoreboard and time clock poles have been installed. They’re still waiting on word on when the scoreboard will arrive.

Work has also been mostly completed on the concession stand. Earth moving material is scheduled to be moved up to the high school, beginning next week.
