New turf does not surprise me in 7 yrs. Conway field gets heavy usage from lax, university intramural and prep athletics. I once saw a baseball diamond set up on the turf for university baseball to practice on when alumni field was too wet to practice on.

  5 Prep Jesuit Football and 10 Jesuit Lacrosse games plus practices and any playoffs a year at Rafferty Stadium. I wonder if the Prep Athletics helps to pay for it? |

I would love to see them complete the curved stadium seating in accordance with the original plan. They certainly could have used the extra seating for the PLL games

Agree. Let the Prep help pay for it. I understood Prep did have some contributors to the ACC. |

LOL, when I first read your last post about checking your statement, I thought you meant to see if the $750K check had cleared. 😂 |

The new turf installation is almost completed. The enhanced branding that Paul Schlickmann boasted about in his announcement is unfortunately comprised of a big red "F" in the center of the field and a sideline panel indicating "home of the stags" in white lettering on a black background. Unless there is more branding to be added to rafferty stadium my reaction to enhanced branding statement that Paul mentioned , is BFD. |
