Glen Ridge sports fans will have to wait for the field to dry out before they can cheer high school football at Hurrell Field. Tomorrow’s game has been changed to an away game, but JV is scheduled for Monday and the high school varsity team is scheduled to play there next Saturday.
So says Michael Rohal, Glen Ridge Borough manager. Turns out there’s a problem with the gazillion dollar upgrades made to the field this summer. Rohal says there are drainage problems, which only recently became apparent, after heavy downpours.
He’s not sure if the problem stems from a design flaw or improper installation, but the borough’s hired three independent consultants to find out. When the studies are completed, says Rohal, they’ll fix the problem — but not at taxpayer’s expense. Approximately 40% of the contract funds have been withheld, so there’s cash in the bank.
