Westport, CT - Staples High School Football. This petition calls for a delay in laying down our new track around the new football field until Sprint 2020. This will allow our football team to have their season as originally scheduled playing all their home games on their new home field. The new football field is ready, but we’re facing the prospect of only having three home games this season for our 27 seniors because the track will take many more weeks to get set. The track isn’t used for formal competition until the Spring. Please join us in fixing this problem. Our seniors have been through a lot of turmoil over the past three years and we feel they deserve to play their last home games on their home field. This field is ready for play. Let’s let them play! Go Wreckers!

As I football player myself, playing at home is night and day in the game of football. Let the boys ball. I am willing to chip in if compensation is needed. You know how to reach me coach!

I played most of my Senior year season on neutral fields because of a drainage issue and harsh weather. It stunk. Let them play.

The track isn’t even needed for the fall! As a long time Westport resident, going to the games on Friday night is a huge part of the fall! It just wouldn’t be the same playing at someone else’s stadium. Let’s use some common sense and let the boys play!

Staples football deserves to play their home games on their new field. Football generates revenue and school pride and it would be a disservice to the town of Westport to make staples play their home games elsewhere!

Let them play football on their new home field. Why can’t they build a temporary plywood walkway to cross 20 ft of unfinished track?

I do track all year round. This is necessary. I am willing to sacrifice my track for some home games

Save the field for the kids. Westporters can afford to help out.
