The Saber Stadium Project committee remains 100% focused and dedicated to raising funds via private donations for this project. However, we feel it’s very important to start the project this spring for several reasons, with the primary reason being that we keep the momentum of raising almost $900,000 in four months moving forward. The reaction and support of the community has been incredible and we’re concerned interest and enthusiasm will decrease if this project doesn’t happen this year, making fund raising in the future that much more difficult. Hence, we are asking the School District for financial assistance to get the project started now and to offset any costs that could occur should we not reach our fund raising goals.


“TOGETHER” we can make this project happen! We need elected officials, residents and businesses to support what we know is a big decision. A decision we all know will benefit the entire Franklin community for many years. No one will regret what we did TOGETHER to provide these improved facilities for our community.The Saber Stadium Committee will continue to raise funds and we need to work TOGETHER to make this a reality this year. We all want to do what is right for the kids and the community, and TOGETHER WE CAN!

The momentum is undeniable. This level of support proves just how much our community wants to see the stadium project break ground.

As a football coach, business owner, and football parent in Franklin I strongly support the Saber Stadium Project. From youth football to Varsity, Franklin is recognized as having one of the best programs in the state. Let's complete this facilities project to be on par with the level of our programs!

I have lived in Franklin for 40 years. It's about time we upgraded our athletic facilities and move out of the Stone Age and into the 21st Century.

I remember playing on that field late in the season. It was so bad we would roll ankles and twist our knees. A better field can protect the kids from injury

I support and contributed to the project. I concerned the contributions made to date will be withdrawn if the project isn't started this year. It would be a shame for the school board to miss the opportunity to provide needed improvements at a significant discount to the Franklin taxpayers.

Let's get this done Franklin. How many other times will the community find $900,000 in 4 months to privately finance such an impressive improvement for our city?

Franklin needs this asap. We have a top notch community and a top notch football program. We need a field to match. It was embarrasing to hear opposing coaches comment on our field surface being terrible this season
