New bleachers were installed in the Cox Activity Center’s gymnasium at Northeast.
The idea of getting new bleachers came about because the former bleachers were getting old; they had been there since the building was constructed. Also, they were not handicapped accessible.
The cost of installing the new bleachers was approximately $180,000. The decision to get new bleachers was made by a committee of people including Kurt Pytleski, the Athletic Director.
“My hope is that, with these new bleachers, more people will visit the gym,” said Pytleski.
Other members include: one of the basketball coaches, three maintenance staff members and two people from the business office.
