Night football lights boost attendance at Nether Providence games
Testimony in Delaware County Court shows night games at Nether Providence High School draw more students and adults with minimal impact on nearby homes. Robert Fithian of Aston said attendance for football soccer and girls field hockey has doubled since lighting for Sun Valley games was installed. Lighting contractor John Bear said illumination will be minimal on surrounding properties as litigation continues over a permanent injunction sought by Kassab and wife against the project.
