Contributions from MLWGS Athletic Boosters Brings New Scoreboard and Plans for an Outdoor Concession Stand Are in the Works

Many at MLWGS have noticed the newest addition to the athletic department: the outdoor scoreboard.
Visible both from the athletic field and the eastbound lane of Richmond’s I-95/64 interchange, the new scoreboard is now fully functioning.
“We’ve been waiting eight years for this so it’s pretty exciting,” said MLWGS Co-Activities Director Ms. Paige Hawkins.
Construction on the scoreboard began near the end of last year and was finally completed during the second week of September.
Funding for the scoreboard was provided by MLWGS Athletic Boosters organization.
Recently, the controls used for changing the score were made portable by jerry-rigging a rechargeable car battery.
This invention allows scorekeepers to change the score without walking over to the board after every goal.
On another note, MLWGS Athletic Boosters are considering another improvement to the track, field, and tennis court complex.
MLWGS administrators and athletic booster board members hope to building a concession stand for use during sporting activities.
The snacks stand would be situated next to the track near the bottom of the stairs extending to the double gates.
“Currently it’s on a drawing board,” said Mr. Hunt, Director of MLWGS, “though there are plans sketched out.”
At the moment, the planned concession stand would possibly stand sell food and drinks in addition to selling also tickets to sporting events. It would also have restrooms for athletes and spectators and could be used for storage.
