PEORIA – A new high school football event will be held at the home of the Peoria Chiefs baseball team.
In the inaugural Shamrock Classic, Normal West will take on Peoria Notre Dame. The game will be played Oct. 2. The idea came as those who run Dozer Park look for ways to use the park in the off-season.
It will take about three days to convert the baseball park into a football field.
