The Texas Star Sports Complex Phase VII includes renovating the existing infields with synthetic turf, renovating the existing
concession/ restroom building, building new offices for staff, and upgrading the existing lighting from metal -halide to LED. With

opportunity to expand existing leagues as well as programming for additional leagues in adult softball. Synthetic turf infields
will also substantially reduce the number of rain outs which results in lost revenue. The addition of this phase will ensure that
the Texas Star Sports Complex remains the premier sports facility for amateur athletics for many years to come.
