Price Field Decommission
As you may have seen, Price Field is currently being decommissioned. As a reminder, this is because the stadium was in dire need of structural and electrical updates due to safety reasons. Thanks to our community, we were able to instead use those funds to assist with the construction of the new Tiger Stadium at RHS. This also allowed for RMS games and activities to be moved to the field at that building. For the time being, Price Field will serve as green space for Price Elementary, and is being considered as a site to fulfill future district facility needs.
