Work is underway to install new field turf in Spartan Stadium. The project, funded by the $25.5 million bond issue voters approved in 2023, replaces the original turf, which had exceeded its service life.
SOLON — New artificial turf is being installed in Spartan Stadium. Solon School district voters approved the project as part of the $25.5 million school bond referendum in March 2023. ATG Company began installing it’s Ram Turf in the last week. Work will continue to about mid-summer. Some of the existing turf is being re-purposed around the baseball and softball batting cages.
The new playing surface will include a $100k shock pad under the artificial turf with the goal of enhancing the overall quality of the field while providing a safer surface and better playing experience for the student athletes. With the new surface comes a new look. While the Spartan logo at midfield will remain relatively unchanged, the endzones will be black with orange lettering.
