August 14, 2016: The new concession stand/restroom building at Dennis Field in Traer replaces two separate buildings. New cable wiring between the bleachers and the football field, and also some turf care, have eliminated nearly all traces of the track that used to go around.
The renovations to Dennis Field in Traer — new concession stand/restrooms, new scoreboard, and a concrete walk around the north end zone to the bleachers — are very near completion. Tonight there will be a ribbon cutting and “kickoff night” with sports awards. A bit more information, along with a photo that shows the cutout word “Redhawks” above the scoreboard better than it appears when you see it from the bleachers, can be found here. (The article is really a repurposed press release from Chelsea Savings Bank, in probably its most prominent sign of competition with Farmers Savings Bank & Trust.)
North Tama’s first home football game of 2016 is Sept. 2 against BCLUW.
