Speeding2Live Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 If you played football, or you do now, where was some of the worst or most dreaded places to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boorelly Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Oak Ridge- When they are up it is unreal. The tradition is splendid. I watched them play Tennessee High in the early 90's, when those guys come from the top of the hills that is amazing to be looking up at 100 + players coming down the hill. All the kids line up and pat the players on their pads. You think it is the Roman army going off to fight. Maryville- those rebels Flags every where. Great fan support. Anderson County- Those dang cowbells Seymour - none stop excitement from their fans. Austin East - Chicken Wings and Barbecue smell in the air. Gangsters standing on the visiting side top of the hill in the drive through. The band is loud. Fnas surround the fence. When you come to the stadium all the police support you see outside the stadium. Rolling through the hood on the arrival to the stadium. Loudon - Fans stand around the fence talking smash before, during, and until last year after. Kingston - Proud tradition and great fan support. Very Loud. I think they have those darn cowbells too. YellowJackets almost unbeatable at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OHSPAT Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 I can`t think of where it is but I heard that there is one place where the field is right next to some train tracks which of course is a major distraction. Lincoln County has always been up until last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHSrebel27 Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 that's Portland who has the train tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbp0137 Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 That would be Portland. If you sit in the visiting stand the train runs directly, and I mean directly behind the stadium...if that's not enough the entire stadium is rigged with train horns, some big enough that they have to be run by generators. It is deafening and could be intimidating. That, or the fact that the are 23-1 in the last three years there and 24-1 in the last five regular seasons.

just1np Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Boorelly is 100% right. I played at Oak Ridge twice, and they DO try(and very well ) to intimidate. During stretches you can always count on a dozen guys with programs heckling you individualy. A lot of fun! But after the game eveyone was very pleasent and gracious.

basket2424 Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 the hardest and most distracting place i have ever played was at bruceton hollow-rock stadium in west tn. the people rang cow bells and blew car horns the entire game or it seemed that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ie3 Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 Any field with Cloudland on it! That is one of the best prepared/coached teams I have had the pleasure of watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wildcat27 Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 Gallatin in sumner co is very tough place. Very loud crowds, always packed stadium, just a great high school football atmosphere. I know this is a thread about tough places to play, and it does seem like a tough place, but not to many teams come out of there thinking that after the outcome of the game.

27mojo Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 I totally agree! I played their in 1989. I remember the cow bells,car horns,and most of all the song"Welcome to the Jungle" ringing off the pressbox. The electricity in the air would demoralize any team.
