Farwell football stadium to gain bleachers and press box
Farwell plans a major upgrade this summer with 700 new east bleachers and a new press box. The old west press box will be retained for scouts and visitors but limited in capacity. Coach Dempsey Alexander hopes moving the home side to the east boosts luck as many players return, including quarterback Leon Lovelace, the first Lovelace to be in Farwell since 1951.
