Wilton Stadium Ads Raise More Than $30K

WILTON. CT -- Newly released information from the Wilton Athletic and Recreation Foundation indicates $35,500 has been raised since last fall for the installation of athletic turf facilities at Veterans Memorial Stadium and Kristine Lilly Field at Wilton School, according to The Wilton Bulletin.

The pilot program was spearheaded by Selectman David Clune. The ads include printed banners visible to the home and guest bleachers. Under the pilot policy there are restrictions on the type of ads: including no political ads are allowed, and ads must conform to requirements and restrictions for advertising in schools. The banners are displayed on the bleachers and fences.

Officials with the foundation say advertisers have been pleased with the pilot program with many of them seeking to sign multi-year agreements.

Costs of the ads range from $750 to $15,000.
