City returns Athens High football stadium to the school board
The city, after buying the Chauncey stadium from the board, donates the facility back for use this fall. Officials say insufficient funds prevented timely upgrades at Chauncey and Athens would benefit from the larger seating and improved press box, while Chauncey offers better turf and parking. The move defuses rising tensions over stadium facilities.
