Giant R to be removed from Reitz Bowl for some games
Reitz High School recently signed a deal allowing schools and organizations that rent Reitz Bowl to have their respective logo appear in the middle of the field.
A new technology has been developed by Ellington Solutions that allows staff to simply unzip the logo on the 50-yard line and replace it with another.
Mike Fetscher was able to use his helicopter camera to capture this image of how Reitz Bowl looks with the Mater Dei logo.
Not everyone is happy about the decision.
“Forget about having the Mater Dei logo stamped on the field,” opined Reitz head football coach Andy Hape. “We are concerned that a player may accidentally trip on the zipper.”
“However,” according to an anonymous source with the school, “that probably wouldn’t happen too often.”

Dan Engler's love for Reitz Football goes back a long time. Engler played for the Panthers all four years of high school and graduated in 1996.
That summer, as the popularity of the Internet began to explode, Engler's search for Reitz Football information came up empty, so his father suggested he create a website. Engler taught himself HTML and launched the Unofficial Reitz High School Football Home Page that August.
Since then, Engler, through ReitzFootball.com, has spent the past 25 years chronicling the rich history and tradition of Reitz High School Football.
Engler and his wife, Melissa, have two sons, Logan and Micah, and a daughter, Juliette. Engler has traveled all over the world but is proud to call Evansville his home.
