I have no info on when all this was done ... it could have been done in previous years.
The past two days, travels have required me to drive north on Route 94 passing Old Orchard shopping mall and, more to the point, the adjacent Niles North High School.
I was stunned the first time I passed the school's football/soccer/baseball/softball athletic complex, and was totally rubber-necking as I passed it the second time.
Obviously, I couldn't stop on the expressway to take pictures, but hopefully one of Edgy's big supporters has access to the third floor of Niles North High School and can take pictures of the outdoor athletic complex.
It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Stunningly amazing.
So impressive --- all artificial turf instead of regular grass on every field, including two football fields --- that I had to look up Niles North athletic history to see if the school is a powerhouse in some of the "minor" sports. I know they are an also-ran in football, but I had to find out for myself that they are not super-special in other outdoor team sports.
Anyway, whoever designed this athletic complex, that person should be working on the Bears' lakefront and/or Arlington Hts. plans.
It's that impressive.
Anyon driving north on Route 94 passing Niles North High to your right, relax a bit on the gas pedal and check it out for yourself. It's as impressive as I've seen and I've seen many in many many years of following high school sports in Illinois.
Gotta give the Niles North people credit for this effort.
