Dear Sport Partners,

This Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we will be completing parking lot repairs consisting of the filling of pot holes and line cracks throughout the lot. 

Our apologies for the delayed notice.

On each of these days a section of the lot will be blocked off for repair and unavailable for use.  Please also advise your athletes of the repairs if applicable.

Thank you for your cooperation as we improve the lot for safe parking,
