As Next Stop…Decatur notes, the new DHS stadium gets christened tonight with its first football game as the Decatur Bulldogs take on the Hillgrove Hawks.  The game starts at 7:30pm, but a Pep Rally and Grand Opening Ceremony precede kickoff, starting at 5:30p.

According to the AJC, the city expects a big turnout.  Tickets are $5 for student, $7 general admission, and $10 for reserved seats.

Oh, and if you haven’t yet seen Decatur edTV’s interview with Decatur High Athletic Director, Carter Wilson, about what the new stadium means to DHS students and the community, I recommend taking a minute a watch it here.
