The 2009 Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl will be played at Windsor (Vt.) High School, according to a story in Friday's Rutland (Vt.) Herald.
Renovations to Dartmouth College's press box and stands will make the facility unavailable for next year's game, which features some of the best high school players from Vermont and New Hampshire. Dartmouth became the permanent home for the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl in 1958,.
The 2009 contest will be the second time the game will be played in Vermont. The 1967 game was played at Centennial Field in Burlington. The game has also been played at Holman Stadium (Nashua), Athletic Stadium (Manchester), Cowell Stadium (Durham) and Currier Field (Plymouth).
Because of limited seating at Windsor High School, temporary bleachers will be brought in for the game.
New Hampshire won this year's game 42-0 and has a 40-13-2 edge in the series. The 2009 game will be played Aug. 1.
The head coaches for next year's game will be named in December. The New Hampshire and Vermont rosters will be released in February.
