GARFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio — The football field at Garfield Heights High School has been unable to be played on, condemned for the condition and is in need of some TLC. On Friday, that's exactly what it got with the Cleveland Browns partnering with the city and school to begin a project to install a brand new ForeverLawn synthetic turf field.
"In 1988, we played on this same field, with the same bleachers," said Garfield Heights mayor Matt Burke. The school, city and Browns organization gathered Friday to celebrate a groundbreaking on the project that will see the field transformed with a new high-performance synthetic surface, providing a turf field that gives the school stability with less maintenance to ensure it lasts for years to come.
"What I love about today—today's a great example of teamwork," Stefanski said to the crowd."It takes the Cleveland Browns, it takes the city, it takes the school, it takes the students, and together as we work as a team putting in a beautiful field."
