There's gold in that football stadium...and purple and white, too
2016 is the summer that they painted the town.
CHECK OUT THE "BEFORE" PHOTO AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY -
The Ada watertower painting is underway. And the Ada High School football stadium is looking pretty good also, thanks to a well-deserved overhaul.
The stadium work has a hometown touch. Tom Wilcox of T.J. Painting and Repair was awarded the stadium paint job. It includes adding some purple and gold to the stadium plus a complete new coat of white.
Bulldog fans will also find a golden bulldog on his haunches under the press box. Fans will also appreciate an update on the two popular football players on the press box back side.
Wilcox provided The Icon with some before and after photos, which will prove that the paint job was needed.
