SWEARINGEN FIELD PROJECT!
COMMUNITY PRIDE. HUSKY PRIDE. BE PART.
The Community Pride committee will hopefully be completing three phases of improvements as donations are given. This project is not solely funded by the JCC School, but from our Communities. Money raised is from outside donors like yourself or everyday businesses and factories that we shop and work at. The JCC High School is giving their full support and working with us to reach our goals! We now have completed all five steps in phase one of the curb side appeal since the 2013 football season. Improvements are contagious. Look around, we have a new main street in Lakefield, softball field updates, new trails, and a beautiful firehouse. If others what to develop a plan in other areas and implement, please contact a committe member. Please consider being part of the pride!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PHASE ONE (5 Steps)
1. Move the location of the current entrance to the other side of the shed. This would become our Main Entrance! Adding brick pillars with an iron rod arch that says: HUSKIES! Bid: $6,000.00
2.
Pour stamped concrete
around the entrance towards the parking lot from the corner of the shed in a
curved angle to the other corner of the fence as an entrance with shrubs and benches. Bid: $10,000.00 (Goal Accomplished)
3.
Paint the current building with:HOME OF THE HUSKIES on the North side of shed. Paint Husky logo on West side and paint: Husky Pride! on the South side for a brick/paver wall for our sponsors. Bid: $1,500 . The HUSKY PRIDE was moved to the East side of the building, along with state appearances. (Goal Accomplished)
(Drawings and painting of logo/lettering by Blaise Jacobsen)
Volunteers painted the shed!
4.
Add a concrete gathering section off the
concession stand with tables, benches, planters, shrubs, and lights for tailgating! Bid: $ 33,000.00 (Goal Accomplished)
5.
Add a sidewalk from the gathering area to the home bleachers with landscaping. Bid: $6,000.00
(Goal Accomplished)
Changes in steps and estimates may vary!
Special Thanks!!!!
"Work in Kind" and reduced bids were already given by: Tim Daberkow Construction, Hansen Concrete Co., Dave & Laura Stubbe of Flower Market for landscaping, Blaise Jacobsen for Husky logo/painting, Svoboda Excavating for gravel, Ace Hardware for paint, Hitchdoc/B&H for Huskies arch sign/gate, Heartland Image and Center Sports for incentive gifts, Sunshine Foods for tailgating, and Livewire Printing Company and Business Today for advertising.
Total Cost for Phase One: $57,000.00+
WE HAVE MADE OUR GOAL!!!
COMMUNITY PRIDE. HUSKY PRIDE.

REVISED PHASE TWO (3 Steps)
1. Add a new
scoreboard: HOME OF THE HUSKIES! This step was originally in Phase Three.
We moved this up to get our sponsors recognized and scoreboard up! Any family or
business will have their name/logo on a billboard. As of now there will be 8
spots/billboards on the scoreboard. Whoever donates $10,000.00+ and wants a
spot, will be given a spot.
Bid: $ 65,000.00+ (Goal Accomplished)
2. This step changed its location on the field. It was suggested to use the existing West Side Hill near the
new main entrance, behind the home bleachers to build on the slope the letters
HUSKIES in white rock. This will save on money verses building up on the South
end of the field. So, the dirt piles we saved to use, will be removed sooner or later. Bid: $10,000.00+ (working on finalizing the labor for this bid)
3. Replace the
Away/Visitor bleachers and wait to upgrade the press box until Phase #3 unless funds are available. Bid: $35,00.00 (working on finalizing bid) Update July 2015: The goal of the visitor press box is being accomplished, but not with Community Pride funds. Strong winds that destroyed the old one required a new press box, paid by JCC school.
Changes in steps and estimates may vary.
Total Cost for Phase Two: $110,000.00+
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
REVISED PHASE THREE (4 Steps)
1. Upgrade the actual playing field with new
goal posts with Husky Pads around the poles and possible underground water for
the playing field. Bid: $ 20,000.00+ . This step was done by the school (AD-Eric Tvinnereim) for the sake of safety.
(Goal Accomplished)
2. Add sidewalks that connect from the concession stand gathering
area to the visitor bleachers and bathrooms on the North and South ends. Plus
add a concrete pad under the student body/cheerleading section and a sidewalk along
the backside of the home bleachers. Bid: $35,000.00
3. Upgrade the Visitor
Press Box and paint the current buildings/facilities to match
in Husky Colors of the entrance shed with logos. Bid: $24,000.00. Update July 2015: The goal of the visitor press box is being accomplished, but not with Community Pride funds. Strong winds that destroyed the old one required a new press box, paid by JCC school.
4. Add a ticket booth to the front gate entrance or possibly save
the money and keep using a ticket table to set up and take down. Either way
this final step brings the project back to where it all started. Improving the
main entrance! This has already been built and donated earlier than expected. Thanks to Glenn Palmer! Check out project updates for more details and photos.
(Goal Accomplished)
End of Phase
Three! Changes in steps and estimates may vary.
Total Cost for Phase Three: $79,000.00+
Inside updates such as locker rooms, concession stand, press box or additional ideas for the field could be considered if funds are available after Phases 1,2,3, are completed!
