First Five

Ashland

Second Five

Excluding Belfry for bias reasons:

 

1. Ashland- Just a special venue with the history, unique look, and all around vibe.

2. Highlands- The tradition of the stadium and I like how it is tightly fit behind the school.

3. Central- Just a very unique venue and atmosphere and a top shelf concession offering.

4. Manual Stadium- Love the history and the scale of the venue.

5. Russell- One of the best fanbases you will find in all of Kentucky and a cool venue.

 

Notable:

Pikeville

Danville

Somerset

Beechwood

Johnson Central

 

For the record the most surprising/underrated stadium in KY may be Shelby Valley of all places. Top shelf facility with easy access, ample seating, and plenty of parking.

Bell Co - built into a mountainside

Ludlow - Riverview

Dayton - small old timey feel

Highlands - school tight against field.

Cov Cath - I liked the daytime games there best, but still pretty cool.

 

Also

Sheldon Clark - was kinda like Bell from my memory

Holmes - old timey feel.

 

I haven’t been to that many venues...

 

Elder (Oh) is probably the coolest I’ve been to overall.

1.Johnson Central- other than the sounds guy very great atmosphere

2. Corbin-parking is horrible or it would be 1

3. Middlesboro- the brick walls around the stadium create a very unique old school look and back in the day no one left there with a W.

4.Hazard- the walk up to the field will leave every opponent out of breath.

5.Wayne County- very underrated atmosphere.

Not counting my favorite...The Briar Patch.
