According to Coach Lance Mancuso, the total cost of this new addition will be around $700,000 to $750,000. The school district is providing $420,000 of that amount, and the rest will be accumulated from booster clubs and various fundraisers. Ornamental bricks will be sold for $250 a piece with the names of the contributors inscribed on them.

Manufacturing of the stadium will take approximately three months, and the completed sections will be shipped in to be assembled. Along with the stadium will be a new dressing room and restroom facility as well.
