STATELINE SPEEDWAY TO UNVEIL NEW MULTI-USE SPORTS FIELD
Post Falls, ID – Stateline Speedway announced the completion of a brand-new multi-use sports field.
The field will host its inaugural event on Sept. 21 with a rugby tournament, marking the beginning of a new era for sports and entertainment at the facility.
The field is located to the west of the main speedway grandstand in an area that formerly featured parking.
“This has been a work in progress for over 4 years now,” track general manager Matt Alexander, wrote in an email.
The versatile field is designed to serve a wide range of community needs, from school sports to recreational leagues, local sports clubs, and beyond. In addition to sporting events, the field will be a hub for festivals, concerts, and other community gatherings.
“With the combination of our racetrack and now a multi-use field, the possibilities are endless for the types of events we can host, providing even more family entertainment to our local community,” Alexander said.
A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held Friday, Sept. 20, at 4 p.m.
