in other matters, Ed Matey, in charge of district athletics, health and physical development, announced the district is looking for members of the community interested in helping to refurbish Rayen Stadium on Benita Avenue.
“We’re looking for public support,” he said, adding that means people interested in donating money or their time to the $2.5 million project.
An ad hoc committee is partially formed now, but more members are needed, he said, adding that interested parties should call him directly at (330) 744-6955.
Once the committee is finalized, a capital campaign will be launched, he said.
The 6,000-seat stadium was built when the former Rayen School was erected in 1922. Most of it remains as it was then.
The school was closed in 2007 and torn down as part of a district school rebuilding program, but the stadium is still used by the district’s two middle-school football teams.
The East and Chaney high school teams play their home games at Youngstown State University now, but would call a renovated Rayen Stadium their new home.
The project would include an artificial turf field, expanded parking lot, renovation of the stands and a new building to house locker rooms, public bathrooms and a concession stand.
