Firestone Stadium Renovation (Akron, OH) – Home of the OHSAA State Semifinals and Finals

Beginning August 2022, Firestone Stadium will undergo a renovation to install field turf, which will cover the entire infield and outfield playing area. The renovation will be done in time for the 2023 spring softball season and OHSAA state tournament.

Wow…they just put a ton of money in that surface not that long ago, 5 years or so? It’s definitely the way things are headed now.

Fun place for the girls to play, glad they are adding field turf so that once the rain has stopped they can get to playing games and not worry about field conditions.
