It’s official. Triton Central opened its new fieldhouse with a Wednesday night ceremony and ribbon cutting.
Three basketball courts, a new weight room, and new second level within the facility has a classroom area overlooking the courts, and an office. The new wrestling room will bring the high school and middle school wrestlers back into the high school.
More restrooms, an actual concession stand, a hitting cage and portable tennis nets make the fieldhouse multi-functional for TC’s athletes and the thousands of athletes and their families that visit Fairland for events.
The price tag for the renovation is approximately $3.1 million, according to Hoke, who estimated the total fieldhouse investment to be about $5 million.
People have been watching the building go up anxiously awaiting completion. Superintendent Chris Hoke says the wait for this has been longer than that.
By Indiana’s sports classification and school population Triton Central is labeled as 2A. Hoke says they feel TC is bigger than that in some ways while maintaining the corporation’s hometown feel.
Athletic Director Bryan Graham says he has an event in the new facility this weekend. He had people who wanted to get up shots Wednesday night.
Graham says the fieldhouse provides an exclamation point to the corporation’s commitment to its kids and athletics.
