Installation of artificial turf at Phil Watts Tomahawk Stadium at Riverdale High School has begun. Work began this week to transform Tom Nolan Field.

The Warriors will become the sixth team in Rutherford County to switch to artificial turf.

The project is set to cost around $900,000 with multiple donors already helping fund the project.

The other schools that have turf are Blackman, Oakland, Smyrna, Stewarts Creek, and Siegel.

The latest addition to the roster of schools embracing artificial turf is Rockvale High School, where plans are in motion to install a unique patriotic design paying tribute to the military men and women.
