(Seguin) — The Seguin ISD may just be days away from having its Matador Stadium football field returned to its athletic department.
That’s the latest word from Bill Lewis, Seguin ISD associate superintendent of technology. Lewis recently provided a bond update on the Seguin High School Matador Stadium to members of the Seguin ISD Board of Trustees. Lewis says things are all moving along as planned.
“First of all, looking at the stadium, if you’ve driven by recently, you know we are about almost 75 percent complete with the stadium so getting there. Going up quick. We are on schedule to possibly have the field turned over by the end of this month so the team can start using the field under safety precautions so that’s a plus. Again, it’s all weather related but we are in good shape right now. The complex, again, will be turned over to us in August,” said Lewis.
During the board meeting, Lewis listed off a checklist of projects that are currently underway at the stadium.
“You can see almost both sides, the stands at least the framework on the home side is going up right now. To finish up, they put the glass on the press box etc. It kind of really changed the whole landscape of it when they got that glass up. They’ve built the foundation. The concrete has started on the home side and that will continue and then the building of the concession, restrooms will go up under the home side stands. The home side bleacher installation is ongoing. Ticket booth construction is ongoing both ticket booths are there and they are finishing up some of that piece right now. Restrooms, concessions are ongoing. The turf, the track, they already done striping on the track so most of that is already done. I think they still have to do the time clock installation on each end but most of that has gotten done. We have posted pictures of that. It looks really good. Press box construction is ongoing. We are doing installation inside and pretty much all drywall and wiring and so forth and they continue to work through each of those pieces,” said Lewis.
The new Matador Stadium being built at its existing site was approved by voters in 2019.
