“Throw in the fact that our band uses the field a couple times a week, and during football season, the grass field would get pretty beaten up, especially if it rained before band rehearsal. “Previously, the field was limited to football and boys lacrosse, and we didn’t practice on it very much because we didn’t want to tear up the field,” said Mark Pos, Warren Township High School’s athletic director. With a surface that can withstand heavy use – even in inclement weather – the stadium now will be home to WTHS football, boys and girls lacrosse, boys and girls soccer, physical education classes and band practices, as well as a community lacrosse club and youth football practices and games. During the past five years, the school has expanded the venue’s seating capacity, added new lights, and installed a new scoreboard.Īs the final improvement, school officials also wanted to upgrade the field from natural grass to a highly durable playing surface so that the stadium would be better equipped to handle the large number of events it hosts throughout the year. The Mondoturf field – which replaced a natural grass field – is the latest in a series of enhancements to WTHS’ multipurpose stadium. When the Warren Township High School Blue Devils kick off their 2011 football season Friday against New Trier High School, a state-of-the-art field will be underfoot: a Mondoturf 3Nx thermo-bonded artificial turf system.
