The ambiance is that of a back room prize fight where thay sell liquor during the prohibition days of the 20's..I've always said if the fan's can't catch a mouthpiece or a cleete every once in awhile,they are too far from the game I hear that, but the stands being that close to the field can definitely cause injuries to people not just players.

Having been to MANY very fine football venues over 20+ years, it’s easy to see what needs fixing and you can’t fix it at the current location. Have you ever been to Tennyhaw? ...

Everything, including the parking being that close to the main traffic throughfare is the biggest safety issue ... I don't know if anyone has ever been run over or if there have ever been any wrecks during football games, but the potential is certainly there .... it's a nice field and home side stadium, but if they were going to spend that kind of money renovating it they probably should have moved it somewhere farther off the highway for safety reasons ....

They will break ground on a new concession stand and stadium entrance building shortly. That was supposed to happen this past offseason but supply chain issues set the project back to the point that it couldn’t be guaranteed to be complete before the season started. There is also discussion about paving part of the old practice field to expand parking, which will alleviate some of the traffic concerns. In addition, we’ve made a deal with the owner of the quick lube/ car wash across highway 84. In exchange for season tickets and two gallons of Doomer’s finest, he will allow us to move the visitors bleachers to his property, which will expand the sideline area greatly. Hopefully this will satisfy the Bulldog fans who are complaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not complaining, and I like the current stadium just wish y’all could/would build out there, it’s just logical. Not trying to be a punk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not complaining, and I like the current stadium just wish y’all could/would build out there, it’s just logical. Not trying to be a punk. It might be logical but it’s not financially feasible. The funds are not there. The funds are there to do what is being done. I’ve been to basically every AA stadium in East Texas over the past 15 years. The top 3, currently, in no particular order, are Timpson, Joaquin and Beckville. Sidelines at Timpson are about 6 wider and their visitors stands are much bigger. Beckville visitors stands are slightly bigger. Parking is as big an issue at both of them. No AA stadium has adequate parking for a top 10 matchup because no one builds parking for football games. It’s built for Monday-Friday school. I haven’t been to a Carthage- Henderson or Carthage- Gilmer game, but I bet there is a shortage of parking spaces for those games as well, regardless of where they are played. But I would bet my paycheck that Scott Surratt would love to have a home crowd at Bulldog Stadium sitting 12 feet from the field and getting as loud and rowdy as the RAMNATION was Friday night. It had a significant impact on the game. That atmosphere was awesome. The last two Joaquin head coaches have been adamant that Ram Stadium provides a home field advantage that they aren’t willing to give up. And I can promise you that not a single one of the people there give a rat’s rear end what someone from Carthage, Garrison or Timpson or anywhere else thinks about it. We’ve been playing football at that same location since 1923, when some guy donated his cornfield for the school to play football on. No one has ever gotten run over on the highway and no one has ever been injured from running into the bleachers. It is what it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One game at a time That would really depend on who wins out of Centerville and Corrigan-Camden for the district 12 title in week 11. The district 12 winner goes to the bottom of the bracket and if they win rounds 1 and 2, will get the district 11 winner (Timpson) in round 3. The district 12 runner-up goes to the top of the bracket with us and will need to win rounds 1 and 2 as well to meet us (provided we win rounds 1 and 2) in round 3. For any of this to matter, we need to take care of business down in the big thicket Friday night. We will not discuss the accommodations at Ram Stadium in this thread anymore. The Timpson game is over as well. Focus needs to be on our next opponent. Anyone wishing to express opinion or give advice concerning any facilities at JISD needs to show up and speak at the next meeting of the Board of Trustees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
