A before and after shows how the home side of the grandstands at Doug Adams Stadium appeared in May (top) compared to how it looks now (bottom) as the first phase of the transformation project concludes. The general public is being welcomed to visit the stadium at 10 p.m. on Tuesday as they turn on the lights and provide a sneak peak before the first event is held on Thursday for a football game between Beavercreek and Xenia.

Previously the visitors stands (top) sat on the west side of the stadium, but the new configuration will have them be on the east side (bottom) as roughly 1,000 total seats were added to Doug Adams Stadium on both sides of the field. New lighting fixtures have also been installed on both sides of the field.

As seen in May, the home side grandstands had seen better days after decades of weather and usage. The stands had been originally installed in the 1950s.

Taking down the old seats didn’t take much time. Making sure everything new is set to go is time after well spent.
