Wadsworth schools, city team up to address football parking woes
|
WADSWORTH - Frustration with lack of available parking led to less-than-stellar crowd turnout over the latter portion of Wadsworth High School's football season, but a new agreement between the district and city will aim to mitigate concerns.
The city will allow a roughly 1-acre area south of Art Wright Stadium to be used for home football game parking free of charge to the schools aside from prospective costs associated with grass repair after the season is complete. The school district owns the majority of land surrounding the stadium while the city is responsible for the 1-acre area on the south as well as another 1-acre area to the north.
Superintendent Andy Hill said the district spent about $3,000 last summer for grass repair on its own property after the annual Blue Tip Festival.
