Safety Improvements at Coan Field


Atlanta, GA (September 4, 2024) - Inter Atlanta FC has taken several steps to improve the safety of Coan Fields (the fields adjacent to Coan Middle School) for players and spectators.

These improvements include:


  • Over the summer, treating the Coan Fields' dirt and hydroseeding with Bermuda grass.  This effort should provide an improved playing surface throughout the entire season.


  • During the 2023/24 season, installing new lights at Coan Fields.  The club constantly maintains the lights to ensure that the lights are working properly.  Any additional lights, such as street lights or Coan Middle School lights, are maintained by GA Power, and any time these lights are out, the club reports these to GA Power, which quickly dispatches crews out to repair the lights.


  • Contracting with three off-duty Atlanta Police Officers to monitor the Coan Fields during practices.  One officer remains in the front of the building at all times assisting with drop off and pick up traffic as well as monitoring the front of the building/fields.  The second officer remains in the back parking lot and assists with carpool traffic in the back as well as monitoring the back of the building/fields.  The third officer remains on the fields and patrols the fence line and perimeter of the Coan Fields.


  • Training coaches and staff regarding player safety and providing instruction regarding how to respond to various situations presenting a danger to players.


The club is always interested in ideas to continue to improve player safety.  Should you have suggestions or notice any lights near any of our fields that are not working properly, please contact our safety committee at safety@interatlantafc.com
