The soccer teams will still have their own home but the price went up a bit as more land had to be purchased.

The amount of land is just an acre, costing the county an extra $6,677. The expenditure was approved by the county court this past week.
The land, which will be used to construct a field and support buildings like a concession stand, bleachers and other necessary structures, was purchased recently at a cost of $25,000. The land is located on Allen Ferry Road and is near the high school campus.

The issue that required the extra acre purchase was discovered recently that the original purchase did not extend all the way to Allen Ferry so the extra land would be needed to square the property.

The soccer teams presently use the high school football field for home games. The new facility will be home for the boys’ and girls’ soccer teams as well as the DeKalb Middle School girls’ and boys’ teams. It is not known when the fields will be ready for play.
