The Ottawa School Board rejected a 3 million joint football, soccer and track stadium with Ottawa University. Instead it will repair Steve Grogan Stadium to support football, track meets, graduations and classes. Bleachers will be replaced with metal seating as a structural review determines feasibility. If affordable, work could start after this football season with state funds accelerating repairs.
