Elmira High School is set to welcome community members to the opening of their brand-new multi-purpose turf stadium beginning September 20, 2022. The District and community will celebrate the opening of the stadium on September 23,2022 before the kick-off of the Elmira Express Homecoming football game.
"The students and community are extremely excited for this," said Elmira Superintendent, Hillary J. Austin. "This district-level event arena is for all -- our teams, field band and community events and activities."
The new athletic complex includes an artificial turf field, a new press box, home side concessions, restrooms, track replacement, new bleachers, scoreboard, and sound system. The complex name will be rededicated to Thomas J. Hurley, longtime popular football and wrestling coach during the opening celebration. Event details will be forthcoming.
Austin adds that “teams being able to play under the lights now adds more excitement, and the new turf stadium presents many more opportunities.”
