It’s been nearly 4 1/2 months since the Izard County School Board approved a bid to begin construction of Cougar Stadium and Track and Field Complex. Since then, progress has been made on the school district’s future football and track facility, but more needs to be accomplished before it opens.
Izard County Superintendent Fred Walker says mainly the dirt work has been completed, but they have a unique building project ahead.
Listen:
The cost of the stadium and track complex is $3 million. Walker says the district did not need to ask its voters for a millage increase.

As construction continues, practices for junior high football will be held on the high school softball field in Brockwell. Mighty Mite football games will be played this fall on the ball field at the elementary campus in Violet Hill.
Cougar Stadium and Track and Field Complex will include grass for its playing surface. The construction project is expected to be completed in the spring.
