Aurora Public Schools will soon be the new owner of a synthetic turf field at Aurora Central High. The Denver Broncos and National Football League Foundation Grassroots Program will provide a $250,000 grant to install the new field, which is expected to be completed and unveiled this fall.
The grant from the Broncos, NFL Foundation and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) is part of more than $3 million awarded nationwide for field renovations and construction this year.
The Grassroots program, a partnership between the NFL Foundation and LISC, has devoted nearly $46 million and supported 366 projects since 1998.
