University of West Georgia soccer field for 2022. Renovations 2008 overhaul In 2008, the local school board administration approved a tax-funded plan for renovations of Grisham Stadium along with the development of a new fine arts center and improvements to the nearby gymnasium. The stadium went under extensive renovations, which included a state-of-the-art artificial track and field, complete visitor's locker rooms, and updated concessions along with new home side grandstands and a three level press box. A new grand entrance was incorporated in 2008-2009 to include a brick memorial walkway. These additions were also linked with the existing "TrojanTron" and Matrix Boards, as well as the home fieldhouse which houses the Trojan Hall of Fame. A bronze Trojan monument also greeted fans upon entering the updated stadium. However, the statue was moved in 2019 to serve as the centerpiece of the newly renovated high school courtyard. Funding controversy There was backlash against the school district and its administration at the time due to funding for the facilities falling through. Parents and Carrollton community voices expressed displeasure and concern due to the construction plans exceeding budget and many accused the school system of neglecting the students' academic needs and wasting taxpayer money. There were others in the community that came to defend the district's decision citing the need for Carrollton students' access to athletic facilities. The stadium renovations, having already been completed when cost exceeded limits, forced the school district to delay construction of the arts center and scale down the plans of the gym renovations. Other renovations 2021 In 2021, the "TrojanTron" scoreboard, having been out of operation for years, was replaced with an entirely LED based screen scoreboard system. The signage on this board and on the press box was also updated to match the newly renamed "Maddox - Musselwhite Track". 2023 The turf field is currently being replaced after roughly a decade since the previous maintenance project. The track is also due to be resurfaced during the summer.
