Football is a cherished tradition at Valley View and in 2004 the school spent nearly $4 million to update its football stadium in Peckville, Pennsylvania and add new track and field facilities to the campus in Archbald. The football field surface was changed from grass to artificial turf, the bleachers were changed from wood to metal, the surrounding gravel parking lot was paved, and the concession stands were completely rebuilt and repositioned. The renovations allowed for more parking and a bigger seating area for spectators. All of Valley View's football games plus a select number of soccer, basketball, baseball and softball games are broadcast over the Internet on the Cougar Sports Network which can be found at VVCougars.com.
