Measure "G"

The Measure that rebuilt Harrison Stadium

An Oroville Union High School District bond proposition, Measure G ballot question was on the November 4, 2008 ballot for voters in the Oroville Union High School District in Butte County, California, where it was approved: 

Yes - 59.17%

No - 40.83%

.

Measure G authorized the school district to borrow $12 million. A 55 percent supermajority vote was required for approval.

In 2009 Harrison Stadium went through a massive renovation thanks to the Oroville community voting to pass Measure G. The $12 million project included installation of a turf field with an EPIC cooling and drainage system, an all weather track, new bleachers that seat 4200 people, a press box, ticket booth, snack bar, parking lot, scoreboard, fencing, lighting and landscaping.  The existing locker rooms received a makeover.

The stadium is used for high school football games, soccer matches, track and field meets and graduations.  The stadium has been rented for pop warner, college and semi-pro football games, Lions All-Star football game, soccer matches and track and field meets for other schools/programs like the Butte County Special Education Track & Field Meet and for law enforcement and military training.
