Santa Barbara High School’s Peabody Stadium is beginning to take shape and is currently 75 percent completed. However, it should be nearly 90 percent completed, reported Director of Facilities and Modernization Steve Vizzolini at the school board meeting on March 12. Construction fell behind schedule in part due to rain; 52 rainy days have occurred since the start of the project, and more rain is predicted for March. The project is now projected to be completed by August. Because of the delay, graduation will take place at the Santa Barbara Bowl again this year, the rental of which will be paid by the project. The Armory will hold parking, and a shuttle will bus attendees from the Armory to the Bowl and back. The project is on track to be completed under budget, reported Vizzolini.
