Hugh Mills Stadium Upgrade to Include Artificial Turf
Tuesday, February 24th, 2015
Dougherty County commissioners got a detailed look at materials that are part of an overall improvement proposal at Hugh Mills Stadium that includes installation of artificial turf in the stadium.
Officials with Calhoun-based FieldTurf, an international industry leader which installed artificial turf at Lee County High School’s Trojan Field and is responsible for all but three NFL stadiums, explained the patented technology used to provide the latest generation of artificial surfaces. The Hugh Mills upgrade, which was part of the Special-Purpose Local-Option Sales Tax VI referendum approved by county voters, would also include new fencing, improvements in the stands and a new scoreboard.
