Nicolet May Install Astroturf, Renovate Athletic Field

School officials and athletic boosters are looking at $1.5 million in renovations that would put in a new 8-lane track, install Astroturf on the football field and replace bleachers and concessions.

Nicolet school officials are in the planning stages of a $1.5 million renovation to the athletic field.
