Fields of Dreams: a look at school football stadiums

Fields of Dreams: a look at school football stadiums

In today's world of high school sports and especially in the larger school districts, tax payers money in the form of big bond issues are used to build Taj Mahal edifices for the few players that are fortunate to make the squads. In the smaller classifications, not so much. In the early years little preparation for a field. Find a field large enough to carve out a football field. Mow the grass, dig up the non-useful plants like sunflowers and grass burs, etc. Maybe blade it off, put up the goal posts, line the field off and “viola” you were set to go. Might add bleachers later but mostly people either brought their own chairs, parked their cars around the field or stood outside the fences to watch the games. 07/21/2022 12:00 AM
