Sherbeck Field Improvement

Sherbeck field completed bleacher and lighting installation rendering used for EIR draft published May 15, 2019. Source: GLR Group, 2018.

The proposed project encompasses the installation of permanent prefabricated aluminum bleachers, six field lighting stanchions, a new sound system, press box and storage building at the existing Sherbeck Field. Sherbeck Field would continue to be used for academic instruction, competitive athletics, and rentals; however, Sherbeck Field is proposed to host competitive football games, which are currently held at other locations. The inclusion of field lighting as part of the project would allow Fullerton College to add more evening classes, to offer a balanced schedule, and provide more class options for students who may not be able to take physical education during the day.
