BuffaloGrovePatch.com reports that Buffalo Grove High School is expected to receive a fake lawn football field with the help of the city’s park district. The Buffalo Grove Park District has granted the high school up to $500,000 toward the project in return for use of the field when it is not in use by the students. The estimated cost of the entire project is $ 1 million. The school will pay for the remainder of the cost, according to the article.
In a statement about the new field, Dan Schimmel, executive director of the Buffalo Grove Park District, said they will be using the high school facilities for sports, performing arts, and special events, while the high school will have privileges to use its parks for soccer and cross country. Schimmel added that the new fake grass project provides them access to fields that can be used year-round regardless of the weather.
