The Inferno is getting a partial update, with more renovation to possibly come in the future.
Lowell, coming off its second appearance in the state championship game in three years, will get a new press box and 750 new bleachers added to its aging facility.
The Inferno, the name of the Red Devils' football field, has basically been in place for 30 years without any major remodels.
The new press box is 48 feet by 10 feet.
Herb Steuer, the booster club president, said he expects the additions to be complete by Aug. 29. That is the date of the Red Devils' first home game against Morton. The Red Devils open Friday at Crown Point.
The booster club raised $87,000 to help fund the renovations.
Roughly $43,000 in services and labor was donated by local companies to help offset the total cost of $130,000.
"That was fantastic," Steuer said of the money raised for the project.
Next year, the booster club plans on raising money to renovate the concession area and the bathrooms.
