LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — St. Xavier High School in Louisville is investing in the future of its athletics program.
According to our partners at Louisville Business First, the city's second-largest private high school's board of directors approved $8 million to build a new football and sports complex on its Poplar Level Road campus.
The two-story, 11,000 square-foot facility will accommodate 230 varsity, junior varsity and freshman football players. It will feature two locker rooms, meeting spaces, offices, equipment and uniform storage, and dressing rooms for physical education classes as well as a new locker room inside the wrestling center.
St. X’s outdoor stadium will also get upgrades, including a new turf field, a re-surfaced track and a new scoreboard.Â
Demolition work has already begun for the project that is expected to be completed late next summer.
School officials visited regional universities and professional locker rooms to decide which features and concepts it wanted for its new facility.
The school will campaign for at least $6 million of the project's cost, already securing $4.8 million, some of which was donated by Will Wolford, a 1982 graduate of St. X, for which the new facility will be named after.
Wolford, a Louisville native, played offensive line at Vanderbilt University and in the NFL, and was the football head coach at St. X from 2013 to 2017.
