Nuke LaLoosh Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I have been fortunate enough to watch the teams I have really wanted to see in Kentucky, but I haven't always got to see these teams at home, and that's what I'm gonna list here. Belfry Johnson Central Mayfield Ashland (I've heard a lot about Putnam) Beechwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down4theblue Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Putnam is just unique. I haven’t been there in years. Just it’s horseshoe, and built by the PWA. It’s cool to see something like that built in the 1930s. Lord only knows how much it would cost to build one today. It cost 6.5 million then. Now it would be 60 plus. Is there any other ones like that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never been to a stadium with the security/FCPS being so overbearing. Let’s frisk the visiting teams grandma, those are the ones causing the problems. Nope it’s your students. Get a grip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardin County Preps Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I have been to FD for Lacrosse but not a football game, Nice facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple88 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Great Topic! Going with 2 entires: Places I've already been that are worth your drive: Manual (The Old Stadium is special); Owensboro - Rash Stadium; Highlands - very unique layout, lot of history. John Hardin (I like the way it's seating on one side (old school); CovCath - well laidout out and plenty of room and nice facilities. Places I want to attend a game: Mayfield Belfry Ashland Bardstown Raceland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down4theblue Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 This is a spin off topic. It’s this just a NKY thing. I went to the a game at Cooper and Campbell. I found it odd both didn’t have a “Visitor” side. That’s cool, I get it. Don’t have enough money, poor planning whatever else. But this was the thing that struck me as odd. The home teams side line was on the far side away from the stands. Is this to prevent daddy ball? Keep fans away? I’ve been to a fair amount of places never ran across this. I’ll hang up and listen!

VF111 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 It is worth going to Russellville's Rhea Stadium in Autumn. Rhea was a WPA project along with several others around the state and is simply stunning with the trees changing colors and the neighborhood behind the stadium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beechwood and many smaller schools have this same set-up. What I find odd is Dixie Heights. Large school. Spacious layout and nice entry plaza. There is a visitors side but very few people sit there. The majority of the fans sit on each end of the large grandstand on the press box side. Opposing fans are constantly walking through the student section and the Dixie fanbase to get to the other end. Yes, on occasion, there is a lot of chirping and trash talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen this at a few schools. I know Russell County still does this, and I have seen Casey County do it in the past, but not recently. In both stadiums, the fans are really close to the sidelines, and I believe the coaches don't like the distraction for their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEChargers Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Highlands is definitely unique. But as a whole, I really don't enjoy stadiums with seating on only one side. I do understand the need if several cases. Just not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
