The press boxes have been built throughout school year by students in constructions classes at the Career and Technology Center.

In all, two of the structures will be placed at Hanna Field. At final installation, the field will have two 26-foot boxes in place. They will house gameday staff, like scoreboard operations and public address, both teams’ co-ordinating coaches, videographers, and home and visiting media.

A small amout of work remains on the second structure. The first box will be lifted into place later Thursday afteroon. According to Jeff Bopp, head of the SVRCTC, the final work on the second will be completed either tomorrow or Monday, and will be put in place next week.
