Henry521 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Are the home side stands extra far from the field or is that just an illusion with the camera angle? Being a Highlands fan, I'm use to our stadium and the stands begin about 6 feet from the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson Central is in for a total rehaul off its Football and Baseball facilities. The project for the football stadium was just to much to complete in one year so next year the stands that you see in that pic will be torn down and new ones will be put in place, right against the track. No 6 ft away like Highlands but no 60 ft away like right now. :lol: It should be one of the nicest facilities in that entire state once completed along with the Indoor Practice Facility that will be under construction as well.

Oxnard Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 What fabulous pictures of your beautiful new facility! Please keep us updated as further construction is completed. Projects like this draw a community closer together, as people work and contribute towards one common goal. It looks like the Johnson Central Eagles will be ready to soar even higher in more ways than one in 2007. :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board, private, community, etc??? http://www.dailyindependent.com/localsports/local_story_208000615.html It was funded by Coal Severance tax. Here is an article from the Ashland Daily Independent about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graybeard Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 With all of these great comments about my photography skills... I am concidering a career change. I'd be careful there - almost anyone with a good camera can take good stills. How are you at catching the action shot. Those are the money shots. j/k, keep up the good work.

98NCCalum Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 That field looks awesome. I'm jealous of any team with a field, but that's beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebird Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 That field looks awesome. I'm jealous of any team with a field, but that's beautiful! 98NCCalum, I have told my sons about Johnny Bench (my all-time favorite player) being able to hold 7 baseballs in one hand years ago, but was never able to find the picture that you are now showing, that I remember seeing as a kid. Thanks for digging that old photo up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underarmour Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 I went over to the field tonight with the hope of getting some new pics. But I didnt see anything new. Maybe next week the visitor side bleachers will be up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
