I got two words for ya...STONE CASTLE.

There is no where else like it. Any other place is just like any other stadium just bigger, smaller, newer, older, nicer, louder, etc. But ask anybody that has played there. No where else is like it.

 

 

It's definitely unique, but in bad need of some repairs. The visitors stands are a hazzard with the sloping rows. :lol::lol:

I've played at the stone castle and Greenville is a better place to play at

Polk Co. Wildcats: Larry G. Davis Stadium. Its a new stadium ohh man got to see it. Not enough seats, completely around fences.

So True So True. Last Friday v.s. Howard was unbelievable at the crowd. I had to park all the way at the entrance in the mudd. lol. But I saw where in the North End zone that it was so packed that the students had portable bleachers that I guess the school had brought in for the game because i've never saw them before. But I would say if Polk keeps filling Larry G. up that they will spend some money and add bleachers in the South end zone by the new concession stand.

 

I would say this is the Attendance for this year. this is just an est. and my guess of what it was

Opponent Result Est Attendance

Andrews NC Polk won 49-21 1600+

Tellico (homecoming) PC won 28-6 2100+

Howard Polk lost 7-14 2000+

all three games Polk is 2-1 at LGD 5700+

AVERAGE 1900+

 

I'm not saying thats right but I would prob say more.

This is pretty good for a school of 550 students

William Blount stadium is pretty nice.

 

I like a stadium with a true visitor's side. WB and Heritage have home and visitors sitting side by side, separated by the reserved seating area. They both need visitor bleachers across the field.

 

If they did, it would be awesome.

 

One other gripe - I detest the stands that are just concrete slabs with no bleacher seats. Many schools do that.

 

 

All this coming from a Red Rebel Fan.

 

OK, if you were to design a stadium for a, for argument's sake, a 5A school with 4200 students. What would you have?

 

Include seating capacity, type seating area (bleacher or chair-backs), # of restrooms, # concession stands, type food served, seating capacity, press box, want a track around the field, etc.

I would build something like this:

I think if you look closely, you will see light poles on one side and the shadows of poles on the opposite side. Could be wrong, but I think it does have lights.

 

Let there be light.....

Ditto... you can see the shadows of the lights in the other photos also. The light stands are attached to the top of the stadium and hang out slighly over each side of the staduim. In the construction photo you can see it better.

    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job. 
    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf
