Estill County has started the construction on upgrading their football facilities. 

- Turf Field

- New Scoreboard (I think on opposite end zone from where it currently sits now)

- New Press Box

- New bleachers (home and visitor)

- Weight Room/Field House additions. 

 

You can follow The Engineer Report on Facebook, Estill County Athletics and Estill County Football for updates on progress. 

 

 

I had to film one time from the top of the caboose in the rain and almost slipped and fell off.  Do they still use the caboose?

As of 4 years ago they did. It was still safer than the press box. 
 

Congratulations to Estill Co. I’m always happy to see when schools get an upgrade. 

Glad to see they're putting in turf. That field gets so much use between football, soccer, and band and its location isn't conducive to holding up during the year. They've done a ton of work to their campus over the last several years and it looks great - these updates should only make it better!

Please keep us updated @All State Baseball.

They are also installing a brand new 8 lane track. 

I've not been up through Irvine lately but from what I hear, they have the field completely tore up, nothing but dirt. I'll try and get up through there this coming week and get some pics.

 

Was up by there the other night, didn't really get to see much. They do have a chain link fence up around the field/stadium. Field is dug up. They've tore down the old greenhouse that was by the entrance gate. I'll try and get up there hopefully soon during the daylight and take some pics.

Glad to see this for EC. Got a good group of coaches there .

Glad for the students in Estill County.

Here it is. This is what it will look like when it's finished. 

 

New field house will have high school football and soccer in the fall and track and tennis in spring. 

 

 

Entrance to the football stadium. 

 

 

I think they getting play clocks as well and yes the scoreboard will be on opposite end of the field. It use to sit up by tennis courts on school side. It will now sit on the opposite end. 

Old field house will host the weight room, middle school and visiting teams. 

New field house will host both football and soccer in fall and track/tennis in spring.
