JACKSON TWP — Sports announcers, photographers, reporters and statisticians will enjoy a new press box when they attend future Seneca Valley sporting events at NexTier Stadium.

The school board on Tuesday night approved the replacement of the current, 30-year-old press box at the stadium with a new, slightly larger version.

The new $1.1 million press box is to be completed by this winter.

Randy Miller, Seneca Valley’s director of buildings and grounds, said the main reason for building a new box is that the current one is not compliant with the American Disabilities Act.

The new box will have ramps on each of its two floors, which will bring the facility into ADA compliance, Miller said.
