In 2010, the athletic facility improvement desired most by the Metamora Township High School athletic staff was replacement of the football field sideline next to the home-team's bench. Year after year, the heavy activity schedule in the football stadium quickly reduced the sideline to a muddy mess. Conveniently, nationally-recognized athletic field design and construction company, Turf Solutions Group was working on another project in Metamora and could take on this job. Now that TSG has replaced the muddy sideline with synthetic turf, Metamora Township High School is enjoying the flexibility that comes from having a surface not as affected by the weather.
