Gordon Lee High School

Chickamauga, GA

Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with Gordon Lee High School in Chickamauga, GA to build a new stadium football field with a modern synthetic turf system. The project replaced a outdated surface with a high-performance athletic field designed for safety, durability, and consistent year-round use.

The upgraded field elevates the school’s athletic infrastructure by employing professional sports construction practices, engineered basework, and durable surfacing that supports competitive football and other athletic programs.

Project Goals

  • Construct a stadium-level synthetic turf football field suitable for competitive high school athletics
  • Ensure consistent playability and safe footing under varying weather conditions
  • Improve drainage and base stability to reduce rain-related cancellations or field closures
  • Provide a long-lasting, low-maintenance surface to support heavy usage
  • Enhance field aesthetics and reliability to support school athletic identity

Our Scope of Work

Site Design & Engineering

The project began with a detailed evaluation of existing field conditions, drainage behavior, and soil grading. A site design was developed to ensure proper subgrade structure, stormwater management, and surface stability required for synthetic turf installation.

Site Construction

Construction included removal of the old field surface (if existing), precision grading to establish correct elevations, installation of an engineered aggregate base for drainage and stability, and deployment of drainage components to handle runoff and weather impact. A stable sub-base was prepared to meet specifications necessary for a stadium-grade turf system.

Synthetic Turf Installation

We installed a high-performance synthetic turf system designed for football play under frequent use. The installation included:

  • Laying a durable turf surface engineered for athlete traction and consistent playability
  • Performance infill to balance shock absorption and firmness
  • Secure seam and edge assembly to withstand heavy traffic and maintenance
  • Field striping and markings appropriate for high school football standards

The result is a resilient, competition-ready playing surface optimized for performance and longevity.

Project Highlights

  • Delivered a full stadium football field upgrade with synthetic turf
  • Improved drainage and weather resilience for consistent field availability
  • Provided a low-maintenance alternative to natural grass, reducing upkeep demands
  • Enhanced safety and playability for student-athletes through consistent surface conditions
  • Created a durable playing field capable of sustaining frequent practices and games
  • Positioned the school to host competitive athletics with a modern, high-quality facility

Results

Gordon Lee High School now benefits from a modern stadium football field that provides reliable performance, improved safety, and all-season usability. The synthetic turf system offers consistent footing, reduced maintenance requirements, and enhanced field longevity, supporting the school’s athletics programs with a high-quality foundation.

The upgraded surface allows for regular practices, competitive games, and community events with minimal downtime, rain or shine. These improvements strengthen the school’s athletic infrastructure and enhance the experience for players, coaches, and spectators alike.
