Wolves Stadium looks a lot different, but the style of football hasn’t changed at Reeds Spring High School.
The school district agreed to buy synthetic turf previously used by the University of Cincinnati at a cost of $450,000. Cincinnati installed the artificial field turf in 2013. The university replaced it because the Bearcats now shared the field stadium with a professional soccer team, which requires different field markings.
This turf originally cost $1.1 million. Wolves Stadium also got a new scoreboard.
It’s a far cry from the lumpy grass that once was Carl Langley field, and lightyears from the well-worn practice field sandwiched between an agriculture building and a parking lot.
