No to stadium lighting on Memorial Field Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/no-to-stadium-lighting-on-memorial-field.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 4 Apr 2026 02:38 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mike Roberts [Signature #653] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/11934970?utm_medium=rss I support lights, most of you need to wake up and realize that with your logic we never should have had cars. Turn on the Lights

]]> Wed, 4 Jan 2012 10:43:34 UTC 11934970 Ms. Linda D'Ambrosio [Signature #652] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/11925709?utm_medium=rss I don't want the community's money wasted on lights that provide scant benefit and only to a very select few people.

The educational system is already consuming too much money from us citizens and we've just been informed of new tax hikes. We are not getting our money's worth and adding lights will do nothing to change this, it will only make it worse.

The school administrators have not proven any hardship, they've merely upset the community.

Fund academics, not lights.

And there is plenty of negative impact on students' families and the community.

This feels like a proposal to appease the desires of academic bureaucrats to increase their influence on our families or increase their own notoriety.

We don't want this.

The proposed plan for lighting a PRACTICE field offers absolutely zero benefit to the community. To the contrary, lights would be an overwhelming negative. Last point- it's downright disgusting that members of Glen Ellyn's community expressing their opinion have been targeted for such. Shame!

A debatable and questionable advantage for perhaps only a given percentage of students in sports for four years out of their lives, verses urban blight, safety issues, congestion and expense from now on.

After putting two kids through GBW and living here 25 years, it is so sad to see sports constantly prioritized over academics and building upkeep

The school itself needs repairs before athletics needs lights for a field that was based on a lie to begin with. The aud. needs new paint, the school has leaks in the celings & the temperature of the school needs to be controlled. My freshman year I was told that 'we' (the students) make our school prosper & not to disrespect that, but how can you respect a place where only athletics thrives while the school itself falls?

To add lights is ridiculous. If there is in fact funding available to improve the campus, why not use it to update areas of the building that need upgrades? An audit of building usage and energy consumption could save money in the long run rather than further the creation of a monster that will consume funds that benefit only a few.
