Ferdinand, IN -- Thanks to a generous donation from Mary C. Lange, these improvements mark a significant milestone for Forest Park Athletics and promise a bright future for its athletes and programs. Alongside the transformation, Forest Park proudly anouncd the new facility will be named, “Best Home Furnishings Stadium,” symbolizing the gratitude towards Mary C. and her family for their extraordinary generosity.

The crown jewel of this project is an artificial turf field, the corporation announced in a press release.

Not only does this upgrade elevate the playing field, but it also ensures long-term safety and sustainability. Moreover, a new bleacher system featuring a press box will cater to home team fans, seating over 1,000 spectators. Existing bleachers will be relocated to the north side to accommodate visiting supporters. Fans can also anticipate a new LED video scoreboard with an integrated audio system for an enhanced viewing experience.

“We are truly excited about the positive impact these improvements will have on our athletics program,” said Dr. Jamie Pund, Superintendent at Southeast Dubois Schools. “We are deeply grateful to Mary C. for her extraordinary generosity in making this vision a reality for Forest Park High School. Her support will leave a lasting legacy, enriching the lives of our students and community for years to come.”

The turf field will serve as the home ground for Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Junior High football games in the fall, featuring additional soccer markings to accommodate soccer matches. Come spring, the track team will utilize the multifunctional field. It can serve as a practice space for Forest Park baseball and softball teams, maximizing utility across different sports seasons. The field will also serve as an opportunity to enhance academic programming and can be used by the Marching Rangers and physical education classes.

“We are dedicated to maximizing the utilization of the turf field to benefit as many programs as possible,” added Mr. Tony Hasenour, Athletic Director at Forest Park.

The corporation is already updating the track and field assets. Over the summer, the track will be resurfaced, and the discus, shot put, long jump and high jump areas will be updated and new lights installed.

Forest Park looks forward to embarking on this journey and believes these enhancements will elevate the overall athletic experience for students, coaches, and fans alike, the corporation said in a press release.

The Best Home Furnishings Stadium is scheduled to open for the fall 2025 season.
