SPS Extra for August, 2023: ONE Spokane Stadium

In episode eight of SPS Extra, Taylor Brooks and Stephanie Splater pump up the excitement around ONE Spokane Stadium. All Spokane Public Schools girls and boys soccer teams as well as football teams will play their home games at ONE Spokane Stadium. The stadium is set to open on September 28th with Shadle Park hosting Pullman in girls soccer with a 4 PM start. North Central and Clarkston will go head to head in football at 7 PM that night as well. 

Building a new stadium to replace the aging Joe Albi Stadium is one of many projects funded by a school facility bond passed by voters in 2018. The new stadium is being built downtown near the Spokane Arena and new Podium Sportsplex. Also included in the $495.3 million district-wide plan are three new middle schools; replacements of three existing middle schools; adding space for option programs at two locations; safety/security and technology updates for the entire school district; and building, field or playground improvements for all schools.

This episode will feature Shawn Jordan, the Chief Operations Officer, as well as Shelly Radtke, North Central athletic director.
