ToddG Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Lobo stadium is nice Decatur is very nostalgic, yet modern Stephenville is lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleborn Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Partial to ours since it has the biggest video board in ETx. Also like the feel that PGs stadium has. Hate White Oaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonG Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Are you sure Tatum has the largest video board. Rose Stadium got a new one a few years ago. I can't tell whose is the largest by looking at the pictures. But to me they seem pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Favorite Stadiums to visit 1. Pine Tree Stadium- Marshall is 9-0 here. Great place to watch a game. Atrocious parking though. 2. Tyler Rose Stadium- nicest large stadium in ETX 3. Longview Lobo- second nicest large stadium in ETX 4. Jacksonville Tomato Bowl- Best reno I've ever seen. Best turf in ETX. Worst parking in the state. 5. Carthage Bulldog Stadium- that video board though. Honorable mentions: Mount Pleasant, Palestine Least Favorite Stadiums to visit 1. Longview- Obvious reasons: two wins since 1998. GA seats for Lobo fans on visitors side. 2. Nacogdoches- Worst 5A stadium in ETX imho 3. Whitehouse- 2nd worst 5A stadium in ETX. Plus WH fans in general. 4. Texas High Grim Stadium- Concrete bleachers. Atrocious parking 5. Lufkin- steepest stadium in Texas lmao. Just blah, really. Pressbox unchanged from 1970's. Honorable mentions: Old Tomato Bowl, Old Henderson, Sulphur Springs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue82 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 My 5 Favorite: 1. Timpson- fans are friendly, short walk to a really well stocked concession stand on the visitor side, ample visitor seating, no track so it’s close to the action. It’s just a tough place to play because they are really good now. 2. Beckville- nothing really super special, but they were really considerate of visiting fans by putting the home stands looking right into the evening sun. 3. Carlisle- worth the trip for the brisket tacos. 4. Cushing- pretty good concession stand, parking isn’t terrible, and you can bank on bringing home a W. 5. Arp- just a good all around place for a football game. Least favorite- 1. Tenaha- visitors stands are tiny and you have to walk a mile to get there. Parking is a nightmare. Below average concession stand. But they make up for it with their gym and hoops tournament. 2. Deweyville- it’s almost a 3 hour drive and the mosquitoes are the size of turkey buzzards. 3. Linden-Kildare- straight out of the 1970s. 4. Cayuga- the visitor stands border on dangerous. When you stand up you’re literally standing on a single 2x6. 5. Shelbyville- better than Tenaha, but the visitors stands still doesn’t measure up to the stadium as a whole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Least Favorite Joaquin (Before Turf, the visitor sideline was a muddy puddle even in a drought) Dekalb (Same as above) Mount Vernon (the visitor locker room seemed like two miles away) New Diana (Stadium is lacking. Porta-potties in 2023 should not be a thing.) LK (They have not put any money into that place in decades). Favorite Maud (Love the no track, and the locker room is close) Ore City (Best small school stadium around) Waskom (everything is close) Pewitt (home stands are cool, and typically has great grass) Prairiland (Another cool stadium with no track) Edited February 3, 2023 by Valhalla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 My faves…. TMF Rose, Marshall is very nice, Henderson is solid, Sulphur Springs, Pine Tree, Texas High LEAST LIKED…. Lufkin (yikes, press box), Crandall is embarrassing for a 5A, Whitehouse feels sterile and cold, the old Bruce Field, and I hear Chapel Hill needs a lot of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacdragon07 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Well who has the best concessions??? I like ours. I hate to say it but I enjoy Whitehouse’s concessions as well even though you have to walk a country mile to get to it. I was shocked when I went to Marshall and saw that they didn’t have much to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the chicken strips with Ram Sauce at Joaquin, the brisket tacos at Carlisle, the smoked turkey legs at Alto, and the burgers at Shelbyville. You will thank me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastx89 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) I'll expand outside of Etx Worst Itasca - I coached a game in a rain storm standing on top of 2 sheets of plywood that bowed everytime you took a small step. Wortham - Uncrowned field that turned to mud. The loudest speakers that you had to stand on top of in the pressbox. Metal building for the locker rooms with no AC. Old Chilton - Before they got their new set up, Chilton's field and stands were hot garbage. In junior high we had to dress out in a singlewide that was off of the sidelines for some reason. Ganado - Field and facilities are nice, but dear lord the mosquitos would carry you off no matter how much spray you used. Weimar - Recently got renovated with new everything. But easily the worst field, stands, and had to walk half a mile from their old gym to the field. Best/Most Unique in no particular order Lobo - One of the best stadiums in Etx and all around cool stadium. Jacksboro - One of the better small school stadiums in the state. And it has a really cool look with it standing out cause it flat all around it. Alvin ISD Stadium - The most impressive high school stadium I think I've ever seen or been in. Universal City Randolph - While not visually impressive, having planes landing and taking off and stopping whatever you're doing for taps to be played is a fun experience. Wimberly - The view alone is worth going to watch a game there. But its also a solid complex and a great little town to visit.

TIMRIGGINS Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 My favorite small school place is probably Joquin....Its the hardest place to play in my opinion. Favorite big school would be Pine Tree or Sulphur Springs. Nice set up for both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
