The Ladue-Frontenac Patch editor lays out the logic for moving under the lights.
The fact remains, Ladue High School needs lights, and a turf field for its football complex. Before you grab your telephone cord to strangle me, or decide to burn my house down with some vigilantes, hear me out. There are health and safety factors that cannot be swept under an artificial rug. Its just too damn hot in August and September to attempt to play football in the day time sweltering heat. Players are wearing all kinds of heavy gear, and the weather is not conducive to good safety factors. Additionally, teachers, coaches and administrators are neither paid, nor expected to work a six or seven-day week. A turf field means the complex can be used around the clock for gym class, field hockey games; soccer, flag football, you name it. …
