Football Stadium To Get
Additional Thousand Seats
Construction of permanent seats'
for an additional 1.0(H) football fans
will be conipLet(l iDylijpe tor Way-;
aesvrtle's second home game of the
season September 26. M. H. Bowles
superintendent of the Waynesville
School District, said today.
The addition of the new seats
came as a result of hundreds of re
quests that reserved seating space
be made available for the games
Until new there has been no re
served seats available for any of
the games and the seats were sold
on a first-come, first-served basis.
During the past ft-w years the
Mountaineers have played to capac
ity crowds and in most instances
overflow crowds in their home
games.
Mr. Bowles said the stadium
would provide seats now for be
tween 2.500 and 3.000 easily. The
wooden bleacher seats, which have
been in use for some years, will
again be used this year. The bleach-1
ers have a seating capacity of 500
The cost of the project has been
set at $4,300. It is being financed
by the Athletiic Association as a
part of its efforts to continue the 1
enthusiasm that Waynesville's
sports fans have had during the
past.
All seats in the new stadium will
be sold on a reserved basis. The
seats will be made of two-by-six
boards bolted together. The whole I
structure, which will be made of
cement blocks, will measure 150
feet long and will be 10 tiers hjgh.
It is to be located at the lower "end
of the field, across from the Pre3s
Box.
Ben Sloan is contractor.
