» MAUMEE CITY SCHOOLS KAZMAIER STADIUM RENEWAL PROJECT 2018 KEY INITIATIVES

For construction details, go to www.pantherpridefoundation.org.

Maumee High School’s Kazmaier Stadium is more than a playing field for sports, band and recreation.

It is also an “open door” to the Maumee community that welcomes people of all ages and provides students with opportunities to build character and learn lessons that last a lifetime.

As a venue for local and regional events, the stadium welcomes more than 10,000 people attending upwards to 150 athletic and music programs annually.

The Maumee High School stadium was built in 1961 and has not been significantly updated in more than 50 years. As a result, the facility is showing its age and requires a significant amount of funds annually for maintenance.

Just as importantly, the stadium’s condition does not represent the quality and values of the high school, district or community. The facility is not ADA-friendly, and its entrance, restrooms, locker rooms and seating areas are in poor condition.

Maumee City Schools and the Panther Pride Foundation are undertaking a capital campaign to raise funds to renovate the stadium facility to address the needs detailed previously. Maumee City Schools will be allocating $600,000 of Permanent Improvement Funds to this initiative. The project will include the following:

UPGRADE STADIUM $2.6 MILLION» Install turf field and sand infill

» Create new entryways

» Upgrade security—site lighting and fencing

» Restroom and locker room renovations and planned structural improvements

» Parking and safe walkways

EXPECTED RESULTS» Maumee fans and visitors will have easier

access to modern facilities and conveniences within the stadium.

» A renovated stadium will be a gathering point for all Maumee residents to rally around. It will be a focal point and proud new face of the community.

» There will be an uptick in visitors and fans from outside of Maumee.

» Lower annual maintenance costs.

» Immediate, positive economic impact on Maumee during events held at the stadium.

» Retention of students in Maumee City Schools due to high-caliber facilities and experience.

» There will be an opportunity to host events like OHSAA tournaments, band competitions and other regional events at the stadium.

» Community youth will have access to a better stadium in which to play, exercise and grow.

» The renovated and upgraded facility will demonstrate Maumee’s commitment to children in all areas of their personal and educational development.

“It’s time to create a facility that represents the quality and values of our community.”
