OPEN: New Cats Stadium

August 22, 2024
It's time to pack the stands! The new CATS STADIUM & TRACK at Northview was officially opened during a ribbon cutting ceremony this afternoon. Thank you to our Sylvania Town Crier and Board President Tammy Lavalette for speaking at the ceremony. We were joined by the Northview Band and cheerleaders as Willie the Wildcat and Northview Athletic Director Chris Irwin cut the ribbon.

The Northview Boys Soccer team plays at Cats Stadium tonight, followed by the Crosstown Classic tomorrow night! We're excited for our Northview athletes and fans to have this updated athletic facility.

Did you know?
• This stadium replaces the original stadium, which was built in 1961.
• Seating in the new home stands is double the capacity that was available in the old home stands. 
• At one time, there was a cinder track, but for some time now, Northview's home track has been at Timberstone JH because they didn't have a track for practice and meets on the Northview property.
• When you need a refreshment, the concessions are now on the south end of the field. Look for the black building past the south endzone.
• Northview and Southview now have very similar stadium facilities.
• The old Cats Stadium was the home field for Sylvania High School 1961-1976, Southview High School 1976-2013, and Northview High School 1976-2023.

We wish our athletes a GREAT season and many more to come at the new Cats Stadium & Track!
