Scheduling conflicts have prevented the school from calling one field home. Currently, Edgewood’s football and soccer teams play at various fields in the area — including Breitenbach Stadium in Middleton, Breese Stevens Field in Downtown Madison, Reddan Field in Verona and Lussier Stadium at La Follette High School.

It’s been two decades since a competition varsity football game has been played on the Edgewood High School campus. If “home” games were to actually be played at home, lighting would need to be installed, in part because the Badger Conference bylaws require that football games start at 7 p.m.

Jennifer Bergmann, whose son is a senior at Edgewood and whose daughter graduated from the school, said she hopes the improvements are made. Bergmann said it would give the school a better sense of community because students and supporters would have one place to gather for sports, which she sees as an important part of high school life.

“Sports brings leadership, it teaches time management and builds a sense of pride,” she said.
