MENASHA, Wis. (CBS 58) — Just over 100 days after a tornado caused widespread damage across the Fox Valley, Menasha High School has won a $1 million football field upgrade through T-Mobile's Friday Night 5G Lights contest.

The school's football field was among the areas damaged by the storm, leaving the district without a home field.

Menasha entered T-Mobile's nationwide competition, which awards one high school a $1 million upgrade for its football field.

The contest was promoted by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.

"It's great to be back for another season of Friday Night 5G Lights," Mahomes said. "This program celebrates the passion, pride and sense of community that makes high school football so special."

Menasha continued to gain support throughout the competition, with votes coming from across the Fox Valley and throughout Wisconsin.

On Thursday, the Menasha Joint School District announced it had won the grand prize after receiving 390,517 votes in the final round.

"After the devastation of the tornado, our community was left without a home field," the district wrote on social media. "Instead of letting tragedy define us, you turned adversity into pure motivation."

The district said more than 500 businesses across 52 cities showed their support during the contest, while community members encouraged one another to continue voting.

"We truly could not have done this without all of you," the district said. "Our students, athletes, staff, alumni, local businesses, Fox Valley neighbors, and supporters from across the country, you lifted our spirits, proved what it truly means to be Menasha Strong, and helped us bring home the future of Nathan Calder Stadium."

T-Mobile says the community will celebrate the victory with a field reveal in 2027.

"Once a Bluejay, always a Bluejay," the district said. "Thank you for making this dream a reality!"
