Along with the announcement, the district provided a rendering of the new field that showed an updated logo at the stadium’s 50-yard line.

The district said the new field and new track will be in place for the 2026-27 school year.

“Made possible in part by the Tull Foundation’s generous gift this fall, this upgrade will improve player safety, modernize the facility, and create a great new space for students, families, and fans to cheer on our Wildcats!” the district said.

Last fall, East Allegheny was one of nine districts throughout western Pennsylvania who were granted funds from the Tull Family Foundation as part the Team UP initiative that aimed to support high school athletics in under-resourced schools.

East Allegheny received $250,000 from the foundation.
