Well - technically, they already had a game under the lights there @ 3-4 years ago vs Beechwood using lights from Arts Rental. Packed house. Problem is that the stands aren't worthy of so many people and need to be replaced.

 

I see guys saying things like "how can a school the size of Cov Cath not have lights?" and I feel the need to remind people, this is not a public school nor public funded. All the dollars for these improvements to the stadium, lights etc, have to be raised privately. I should also note that Moeller, one of the best football programs in the nation, does not have its own stadium. They rent Lockland stadium - clear on the other side of town- for their home games.

 

Now that you mention that, I remember that game under the lights.

I remember thinking with the success of that game I thought they'd work out some kind if agreement with the folks in that area to have lights up by now.

Boone county schools have the worst fields in the area by far.

 

Now I wonder if given the choice because they all have lights, if given the choice would they rather have field turf or lights.

 

I would guess lights would win only because the kids enjoy playing under the Friday Night lights more than playing in a turf field.

Wasn't there some complaining about the dim lights like when balls were it the air and problems with the noise or the smell from the rental lights?

Most Catholic High Schools that I know of do not have all athletic fields on campus. All below have gyms so when I say none I am not counting that.

 

Cov Cath - soccer/football/lacrosse/track and baseball are on campus. Saw on twitter a few weeks ago that tennis courts have also been approved and will be installed in the near future. CCH also has a couple new grass practice fields behind the baseball field I believe.

 

New Cath - nothing. They do have a practice field for football up on the hill I believe.

 

Brossart - nothing

 

Holy Cross - nothing

 

Villa Madonna - Soccer and baseball on campus. Not sure about tennis courts.

 

Lex Cath - Football/soccer/lacrosse/baseball/softball share one big field. They make good use of it. But their turf was ROUGH before they replaced it.

 

Trinity - Football/soccer/lacrosse. They used to have baseball but got rid of the field when the football field was re done. I believe they rent a baseball field near by.

 

St. X - everything. You name it they have it. But I am pretty sure their football is fairly new. Didn't they used to share/rent a field from a Louisville Public? I could be wrong.

 

DeSales - Baseball only I believe. But I saw someone on here recently say they are currently building a football field on campus.

 

Ohio

Elder - Football only. Not even soccer on campus. But I do believe the own a athletic complex near by.

 

Moeller - I think they have a couple turf practice fields on campus but not sure if they play any varsity sports there. I know they do not for football. As mentioned earlier, they rent Lockland's field which is not super close to Moeller. I think a few years ago scheduling became a problem when Lockland made the playoffs in their respective class.

 

LaSalle - Football/soccer/track and tennis all on campus.

 

Cincy St. X - you name it they have it.

 

I think even one of the big Catholic schools in Cleveland (either St. Edwards or St. Ignatius) does not have a football field either.

 

As mentioned above, in the late 70s when the football field was build, CCH was told no lights. But they have not actively pursued lights until very recently. Lights will come. It is now a matter of when and not will they.

No disrespect meant to the schools that I said have nothing. I know they all do the best with what they have and do a great job with it. I know this is all off topic but doesn't New Cath have plans for a football field?

When my son was playing I think I would have liked Monday nights more for JV games, free up Saturdays a bit more.

 

Then Saturday varsity games are for you! Forces the JV games to Monday night. But yes, there is something special to playing under the lights. Don't care what the sport is.

Only if some alum wins the lottery and builds one.

Yes, arts rental just doesn't have the lights that can actually do the job like you would want, but it was kind of fun and let the folks have a taste of what the atmosphere could be in Park Hills.

 

I thought it was pretty cool.

Wasn't there a time in NKY when JV were played on a Monday? That is how I am remembering it....

Again.... it has nothing to do with "the folks in that area".

You should know by now that One thing Glyde and Covington Catholic Higj school DON'T have in common is at least the school has class.

I thought it was pretty classy u posted that twice. PM me exactly what you find classless. Puzzled why you are bringing CCH into this.

The notion of a football field without lights at a school the size of CovCath boggles the mind.

 

Does anyone have any info on which Kentucky high school fields are lightless?

 

I'm not sure why this is so mind boggling, read the other posts regarding private schools and you will see that facilities are at a premium.

 

If I had to guess, I would say CovCath is the only high school field in the state without lights at this point. But, at least they have a field.

Thanks. If it's the neighborhood people, that's silly to me. It's not like they'd even be on every night.

 

My guess is when the lights are installed, they will be on pretty close to every night during the fall.

Uhhh...this is a CCH thread, hope that helped.
