Turn out the lights, night events are over at Hoover High School
If you don't know the full 'back story' I can understand your feelings. Besides the fact the lights were put in without the proper notice or fundings, there were many people involved in the discussion of the lights, and more important, use of the field once the lights were installed. The school district was blatant in their intent to use the fields not just for home football games, but for renting revenue to public venues. The district refused to limit the field use in any manner, leaving our neighborhood open to the possibility of public events any/every night of the year. I don't think you would be happy sitting in your house one block from Hoover listening to concerts or semi-professional soccer or other other events late into the night. So much wrong with how this has all 'come down' but it was not for lack of trying to reach an acceptable solution. The students can look to the San Diego School District for the facts - if the SDSD can humble themselves to tell the truth.— September 21, 2013 9:48 a.m.
