On Octobrer 22, 2009, Burbank held a groundbreaking ceremony with congrats from Mayor Johnson on the upcoming new sports fields. In Johnson's speech, he stated "What's happening on Florida Road is that there are a lot of economic challenges...This is the first step to revitalize of the Florin Road quarter."
This is a real honor to have Mayor Johnson come to Luther Burbank to congratulate us in our time of greatness. Coach Jeff Heffernan, Burbank's Athletic Director, was also there commenting on the new field. "More athletes in multiple sports and encouraging our football players to go to the track...This benefits the entire athletic program."
Heffernan, who is also Burbank's Football coach, is real excited about this. It is amazing how so many people are so happy about the new fields that will be here. So we are proud to announce that Burbank is steping up in the world of sports entertainment.
