No more jumping on the bus to play a Pasadena “home” football game at Pasadena City College. Say good bye to the dingy bleachers and sand all over the place on Muir’s field. In a matter of weeks, Pasadena and Muir high schools will break ground for a new stadium where they’re expected to play beginning this fall. The situation is complex but according to Pasadena principal Derek Evans, Pasadena’s been in the works for building a stadium on campus. They’ve gone as far as putting together plans which already have been approved by the Pasadena Unified School District. The stadium will be built in phases. Phase one will install synthetic turf and track on the site. Both schools already have lights which will allow them to play Friday night home games. Phase two will be a bit more expensive because it’ll consist of building permanent bleachers and figuring out the infrastructure that will pave the way for concession stands, restrooms and locker rooms in an effort to make it a real stadium complex. According to Evans, funding (approximately $1.5 million) will come through Measure TT bond money which was passed in the last election. In addition, Pasadena has donation commitments, allowing the Bulldogs to play on campus for the first time in school history. Funds raised exclusively for the purpose of building Pasadena’s stadium or upgrade what they have will be managed through the Pasadena Education Foundation, Evans said. The architectural company that will build Pasadena’s stadium has already been approved by the Pasadena Unified School District.
