As reported in our paper two weeks ago, the two old Union City high schools have combined this year into a new one that opened Sept. 3 on Kennedy Blvd.
Today, the New York Times has an article about the rooftop football field at the new school, with its Manhattan views. Quite a step up from the old days, when players had to walk 12 blocks to their field.
The story notes: “So when this densely populated city with few open spaces combined its two schools, renamed them Union City High School, and moved them into a new $180 million building on Sept. 3, the centerpiece, naturally, was a rooftop stadium with skyline views of the Empire State Building and Midtown Manhattan. These days, the football players simply head upstairs.”
