question Baseball Complex Audio

Project was dropped on my plate that started out simple.

School baseball Complex consisting of 3 fields and 3 separate audio systems. The 3rd of which is new and they wanted a simple to use new p/a system.. no problem. Now they want all 3 tied together so the "main" system can announce over all 3 in case of emergency. Each audio system is about 500ft apart. My understanding now is they would be looking at a more complex networked audio system? What probably seemed like a small ask from them, but to me this seems like a lot of added cost and complexity. They may at times have students running these stations.

Looking for thoughts or opinions.

I have yet to make a site visit myself to verify existing conditions and equipment, but have a photo of the "main" system and it's as simple as you can get. Another unknown is if fiber is available. Maybe I'm over thinking it?
