Wiser Field Press Box Renovation Planned; Article Contains Information On How You Can Help With This Worthwhile Project
The Clarion Area School District is planning to do an upgrade to the press box at Wiser Field which will benefit The Central Clarion Wildcat Football team, as well as others.
The project is being steer-headed by Clarion Area Superintendant Joe Carrico and Clarion Area Director of Operations Darren Seary.
Carrico stated, “Darren Seary is running co-point on the press box expansion. It is a small project, we are adding an extra 12 feet (on the West side), with additional roof space for coaching staff. In this day and age, we have lots of multimedia partners that need space.
“Last year, we had to station folks outside in the elements and right behind the fans so it was not an ideal presentation to our audiences. Darren has been working hard to secure the funds needed to complete this project prior to the first game this year.”
Seary mentioned that the expansion will: 1) Expand space for coaches and media; 2) Improve coverage and professionalism; 3) Protect staff from weather and distractions; 4) Enhance broadcasts, visibility, and operations and 5) Meet growing multimedia and coaching needs.
