Ground is broken today on a new sports complex for Memorial High School.
It’s the first new construction in a long time at Memorial. The complex, called Veterans Arena, will include a 12-hundred seat gym for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling. Public Schools Athletic Director Gil Cloud says there’s also room to accommodate all the boys and girls sports now offered. And he says it will be a community facility, that people in the Memorial area can use it for a variety of events…not just sporting events.
The 12-million dollar project is set to be completed in December of 2013.
