Being An Athletic Director

Being an Athletic Director, sometimes changes need to be made to the school your working at to bring in more revenue and athletes for the school. I am an athletic director at Park Catholic High School and some changes are going to be made to our sports program. Currently, Park High School has a very nice baseball field, re-done gym floor in the Basketball arena, a brand new wrestling room, and a very old and torn up practice football field. Park High School has been known for its wrestling program but after this years new coach for the football team and a one loss season, recruits are wanting more and more to come to Park but without their own football stadium it will be hard to bring in these players. Keeping good football athletes coming in is key to the success for the future of the football program. This means, a new stadium.

The football stadium for Park High School will consist of a 5 thousand seat capacity in a horseshoe shape right where the practice field is. It will have a home and visitor locker underneath the seating and will have concessions at the top of the north side of the stadium directly to the west of the press box. A grassy turf field will be laid instead of natural grass, this is to prevent lawn care and extra money spent on off season maintenance to the torn up grass and reseeding of the field. A jumbo screen will be put on the east side of the field in the open gab of the horseshoe. Parking wont be a problem after the side field next to the old football practice field will be turned into a parking lot, while there’s still the same parking places up top of the hill next to the entrance to the school.

This football field will be able to bring in the recruits and cliental we need to keep this program winning and successful. Bringing in a winning coach was the first start to our success and now that he has shown his ability to turn around this program, I feel this football stadium will bring in the money we need
