Donations
In the spring of 2004 we formed a private non-profit, "Friends of AHS Football." As of February 1, 2006, we have raised
$240,000.00 in cash. We are seeking an additional $60,000.00. Legal, accounting, architectural and engineering services have
been provided pro bono, along with material and labor donations totaling over $100,000.00.
The goal behind this effort is to
improve existing Lovely Field facilities that are currently
inadequate. The cold bathrooms, deficient field locker rooms, lack of coaches/players meeting
spaces, makeshift concession area, etc. are among the issues
we will improve. Our new facility is currently under construction
and features the following: a team media room, concession stand, storage area, ticket booth and new handicap accessible room.
The original building has already undergone significant renovation, including restroom upgrades and improvements to both the home and visiting teams field locker rooms. Additional improvements and needs of the football program will also be considered. Lovely Field is a multi-sport facility and the new infrastructure will benefit the football, lacrosse, soccer and track programs.
We have received tremendous support for this project from the School Committee, School Superintendent, High School Principal, Athletic Directors, Town Facilities Director Joe Piantedosi and his staff. The Friends of AHS Football hopes our project provides a springboard for future investment in Lovely Field, restoring its place as a first class facility.
