A New Stadium
With toe school situation in the county standing as it is,
a bond issue for building a new- gym and football stadium
is not feasible at this time. However, a football field
can be built without a bond issue, The costs could be
voluntarily be raised by toe people of Barrow County.
It will be located in the rear of the present Junior High
School in North Winder.
Present plans, with the costs included already have
been drawn. Only final approval Is needed before work
can begin on the stadium. The costs which were esti
mated with toe plans are relatively low, due to the fact
that much of too Materials will be purchased wholesale
to eliminate toe middle man on toe profit ladder, Much
of the work can be done locally,
The total costs for ;i new stadium are estimated at
$63,500,00. This includes grading work, home and vis
itors stands, drainage, concession stand, rest rooms,
press box, lights, and fencing.
The most expensive Item on toe list of facilities Is
toe lights. Light units, four on each side of toe Held,
are needed. The lowest estimate given so far is $12,-
500. Lighting is one thing that is needed the most.
The home stands will hold 1,625 people, Three aisles
will divide toe islands Into four sections. The plans are
for permanent type stands that can be made by local
people, and tills will cut toe cosL The present estimate
is 312,000.
The visitors stands are tn seat 1,000 fans. These will
bo done in toe same method as toe home stands, and toe
cost will be $6,06(1*
The field Itself will cost about 916,0002 This price In
cludes bulldozer work, grass and piping for drainage
systems. It also covers die track that Is to be construc
ted around Lhe field. The cost of $40,000 for putting
down a Grasstcx surface on the track has been post
poned until a bond Issue is put up for a new Gymnasium.
(Hopefully in toe near fiitm^)
The concession stand, rest rooms, and the press box
.round out toe cost. The estimate for these Items Is $10,-
U00, The concession stand will lx* located centrally at
one end of the field. The building which will accommo
date toe concessions will also include toe rest i-qojtis.
These wilt be equal distances from both home and visi
tors stands.
The press box will have space for two radio units,
newspaper iciwrters, public addioss system, score-
board operator, and camora space for filming toe
game
These costs arc not too excessive for local people to
raise without a bond Issue, Some plans for money rais
ing projects are already being discussed. If our readers
have any- Ideas for money raising projects, ptejfce send
your suggestions to one of dm following addresses:
