This is the old LaFayette High School football stadium.

So it’s no surprise that the city, which owns the stadium, plans to demolish the crumbling block-and-concrete bleachers and replace them with aluminum ones.
City officials said they hope to do the project in 2011 after having it on a to-do list for years.
“It has simply been a matter of having the time and the money to be able to complete the project,” City Manager Johnnie Arnold said.
After the old bleachers are removed from the hillside, it will be terraced and grassed, he said.
