After hearing from several members of the community, we have decided to begin fundraising for a new press box and, hopefully, a locker room facility at Levitt Stadium to be named in honor of Hub Foster, a member of the YHS Hall of Fame and long-time sports writer/announcer/enthusiast who passed away on March 8, 2013.
The current press box is in very poor condition and is quickly becoming a safety hazard. The long overdue addition of locker rooms would allow teams to meet before, during, and after games in a safe location with available bathroom facilities.
Estimated preliminary pricing for such a facility is as follows:
1) New press box only @ $260,000
2) New press box with locker room “shell” without plumbing, fixtures,
etc. @ $385,000
3) New press box with complete locker rooms and plumbing, fixtures, etc. @ $535,000
We are hoping to raise enough money to proceed with a new press box at a minimum so that it would be ready for the 2014 football season.
Tax deductible donations can be made payable to the YPS Foundation, a 501c3 entity, by sending payment to York Public Schools Foundation at 1715 N. Delaware Avenue, York, NE 68467. (In the check memo line, please note that the donation is for the Hub Foster Press Box Facility.)
