Ladd-Peebles lives.
A 75-year-old football stadium in the heart of Mobile will be given a “new life” after the Mobile County School Board unanimously approved Monday an agreement with the City of Mobile that will transfer Ladd-Peebles Stadium to Alabama’s largest school system.
“We’re getting a 75-year-old stadium and we’ll bring it into the 21st century,” said Dillihay-McDade, following the board meeting. “I think the community will be excited about it as well as Murphy High School.” Indeed, the stadium will be the home for Murphy’s football games and will make it one of the largest venues hosting high school football permanently in Alabama.
Stimpson told reporters at Government Plaza that he anticipates the field turf starting “as quickly as we can to meet some deadlines for upcoming games.” A city work crew was at the stadium earlier in the morning. “It was a compromise that I wasn’t all that happy with, but with the ability to add the additional seating when we need it for large scale games and, even better yet … the school system’s to completely do a 30,000-seat stadium based on what the need of the city is, I’m OK with that,” said Councilman William Carroll. “As long as it remains useful to the constituency base to the city, it’s always needed.
Carroll said his constituents “don’t attend the Civic Center as much as they attend Ladd Stadium,” referencing the limited events at the aging downtown sports and entertainment venues that primarily serves as the home facility for Mobile Mardi Gras balls. The nearly 60-year-old Civic Center is poised to undergo a massive, multi-million reconstruction.
