Out with the old and in with the new at Roanoke Rapids High School Hoyle filed.

The Roanoke Rapids High School Hoyle football/Soccer field is receiving a finishing visitor side upgrade.

Back in November the visitor side bleachers were removed and this past week workers started installing the new stands.

"The stands were replaced for safety reasons," stated Maintenance Director Robbie Clements. "The new stands will seat 400 visitors and are up to code with rails and steps", Clements added.
