lol , sadly we ( ND) are not the ones getting a new park , PHS is , but we did redo our gym floor ! I cant imagine the 100's of thousands the state has coughed up for the PHS sports complex .

The money for the sports complex was from a private donor. It was not state money... Get your facts straight.

[ManitouDan]

my sincerest apologies . did the donated amount cover the cost of the football softball and track in full ?

[DiamondWatcher]

Yes. All donated.

The way I understand it, the state will NOT pay for any sports facilities when building new schools, other than a gym......... :12224

Anyone from PHS know if there are going to make a push to get it done for 2013 ?? looks like work stopped once the lot was cleared .

Yes, they will make a push. Since the practice starts in 9 days and the season in 47 and it is a gravel parking lot right now, they are going to "push" as you say it. They are going to build backstops, fence, bleachers, restrooms, bring in dirt, plant grass, watch it grow. When it doesn't grow, buy turf, lay it down and start playing. All in the span of 47 days. Why ask a question that you already know the answer to?
