Where is the Priority 2 cabling that will be needed to work in conjunction with the Priority bandwidth being asked for here? Will this be added to the 470? Also will any additional equipment needed to facilitate these connections be added, i.e. switches, UPS', etc.?

Answer:
 The football field is considered to be a "Non Instructional Facility" by USAC and NIFs are not eligible for P2 funding. See http://www.usac.org/sl/applicants/beforeyoubegin/non-instructional-facilities.aspx

 
The eligibility of Internal Connections provided to on-site non-instructional facilities continues to be limited by FCC rules as follows: support is not available for internal connections in non-instructional buildings of a school or school district or in separate administrative buildings of a library, unless those internal connections are essential for the effective transport of information to an instructional building of a school or to a non-administrative building of a library.
