Blacksburg High School’s new turf football field is ready to go this spring.

By Marty Gordon

Blacksburg High School will no longer have to fight a muddy field on Friday nights after a new synthetic turf field was completed last spring.

Because of COVID-19’s shutting down athletics, the field is still waiting to be used for the first time.

For the past few years, the school has had to deal with poor field conditions, even playing several home playoff games on the road at Christiansburg’s new turf field.

The Blacksburg Athletic Boosters raised $350,000, and the Montgomery County school board matched the amount to fund the field. It stretches from fence to fence (120’ X 265’) at the current Bill Brown Stadium. The school already has a synthetic track on an alternate site so no work was done to the current paved track at the football stadium, thus making the project cheaper in comparison to CHS where a track was included in the renovation

Soccer and lacrosse teams could take to the new field later this spring with an official dedication expected sometime this football season.
