AREA BRIEFS: SEMO'S NEW FIELDS OPEN FOR PUBLIC USE

Southeast Missouri State University's new field complex, located on the corner of Sprigg and Bertling, is now open for community use.

The fields complex includes three new, lighted soccer/flag football fields and two softball fields. Softball or soccer games, leagues and practices may be scheduled through the Southeast Recreational Sports Department.

According to L.G. Lauxman, director of Recreational Sports, the new fields complex provides the community with additional quality playing fields. The first priority of usage is for the university's intramural sports and other university recreation programs. The fields provide additional space for weekend and summer tournaments, team practices, etc.

In addition to the fields reservations, the concession stand may be rented for an additional fee. Public restrooms are also available during reservation times only.
