After playing all of its games on the road last year, the Falcons are excited about playing on their home field this summer.
Falcon Field, the Whitnall School District's multi-purpose stadium and home to the school's football soccer and track and field teams, got a lot of the headlines when the district moved forward with its facilities upgrades in recent years. But the high school baseball team has a new home too, or at least, a much improved old home. After playing its entire 2012 schedule on the road because of renovations to its home field, the Whitnall baseball team is happy to be back playing at home this summer. Second-year coach Ben Krey told Patch about last year's experience and this year's field improvements.

The Whitnall School Board will look at proposed fees for renting the high school's new $6.5 million stadium.
Renting out Whitnall High School’s Falcon Field could cost someone more than $550. Adding use of the concession stand and using the facility for a night event would bump that up to $750. Those prices are among the fees the Whitnall School Board is expected to discuss, and possibly approve Monday for those who wish to use the $6.5 million Falcon Field, which opened in September 2011. The cost to rent the stadium, as proposed by Buildings and Grounds Supervisor Matt Karshna, will be $552 for the first four-hour block, which includes one hour of custodial labor, and $500 for an additional block. The stadium includes use of the game field and/or track, bleachers, press box, restrooms, team rooms and ticket booths. Wi-Fi and general area …

The Whitnall football team also claimed a share of its first league title since 2000 and opened the brand new Falcon Field.
In what has been an incredibly memorable first season as head coach of the Whitnall football program, Jeff Wallack believes one moment stands out more than the rest: The opening of Falcon Field. “Opening up this place against rival Greenfield, I felt we could have played better offensively, but we’ll take that win,” Wallack told Patch on Wednesday. “It was a real surreal moment with the fireworks going off in the background.” The Falcons won that game, 19-6, back in week three of the regular season. Since then, they secured a WIAA Division 3 playoff berth and locked up a share of the Woodland Conference East Division title, the school’s first championship since 2000. “I remember when you guys came to talk to us in August, the big thing was…

The Falcons received big plays from seniors Sam Mentkowski and Zach Sutton en route to a 19-6 win over winless Greenfield.
Updated 11:15 p.m. There were fireworks. There was a video message from former Wisconsin Badgers coach Barry Alvarez. Heck, there was even a rainbow. But what made an evening when the Whitnall School District celebrated the grand opening of its $6.5 million, state of the art football stadium perfect was that the Falcons walked off the field with a win. Whitnall (2-1) christened its new athletic facility with a 19-6 victory over crosstown rival Greenfield (0-3) Friday night, rebounding from a lopsided loss to Wauwatosa West one week earlier and accentuating the debut of Falcon Field in style. "It was a tremendous amount of pressure this week. It’s a monkey off our back," first-year Whitnall coach Jeff Wallack said. "It’s one of the greatest…

I think that $6.5 million is way too much to spend on a football field from our tax money. What about something that could contribute to the school academically? more ›
