New Stadium Approved for El Toro High

Saddleback Valley Unified unanimously approves bleachers and lights for the field over objections of residents who fear more noise and traffic.

The Saddleback Valley Unified board has approved installation of bleachers and lights at El Toro High School’s sports field, according to a report in the Orange County Register.

That means the school's football, lacrosse, soccer and track teams will be able to play at home instead of traveling to other area fields. And the school can hold graduation ceremonies on campus instead of at UCI’s Bren Center.

The Tuesday night school board vote was unanimous despite complaints by residents worried about noise and traffic.
