Stadiums that run east-west

[Twirling Time]

Very few of them in Texas I know of. Frisco ISD Stadium is one.

[DDBooger]

Boone Pickens Stadiim does. Found that out Saturday.

[bigwood33]

I'm pretty sure Bonham's does. I know we have played in more than that but that's the only one I can think of.

[Ranger Mom]

Greenwood's does!!

Everyone get's their share of the hot West Texas sun at the first of the season!!

[LE Dad]

Harris Field at Liberty-Eylau does, Texarkana Razorback Stadium and Atlanta do. I think Pennington, Birdville and a few other DF/W stadiums do.

[Trashman]

Mason, Menard, Richland Springs, Ballinger, Junction, San Saba, Lohn, Comanche, and Burnet are a few.

[Milk That Cow]

Giddings
Lexington
Rockdale
Temple
Cameron

[Twirling Time]

Just thought of another: Princeton.

[Twirling Time]

Pennington does go east-west, but Birdville is north-south.

[icu812]

Lindale does.
Mineola does.
Grand Saline does.

That is just within 15 miles of my house so I imagine there are lots, lots more.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

West Oso

[HEMOTOXIC]

Navasota

['Necks 2013-14]

Sadly-Griggs Field in West Columbia does too. But it seems to be a tradition, at least for the sub-varsity games, for the homers to sit on the east facing bleachers and let the visitors "enjoy" the beautiful sunshine!:devil:

[wildstangs]

Granbury

[GreenMonster]

Iowa Park is East-West so that the home fans don't have to face the late season north wind.

[M-town lobo fan]

Monahans is the only stadium in the world,pro,college,highschool that the home side faces the sun.We give the shade to the visiting team.Best hospitality in Football lol

I was in Giddings a few weeks ago...sat on the visitor side and notice the sun in the faces of the giddings fans early.

Most of the above stadiums are running east - west due to being land locked or in Mason's case because the stands were left over from an abandon horse racing track from the 30's.

As well as Sherman and Honey Grove. The sun's only an issue at 7:30 the first few weeks of the season, though.

[LHSEagleFan]

Add Luling Eagle Field

['84 Stang]

Vernon and Hermleigh ( six man ) both run east and west....Roscoe's Plowboy field - home side faces west.

[spirate_9]

Sinton's runs straight East to West. The others that I found, either run SW-NE or SE-NW.

No it don't you goof! it runs North and South. That is why you have the sun from the WEST in your face on the home sides in the afternoon.

[gordo]

That piece of junk in Sweeny, Texas goes East and West.

['Necks 2013-14]

Well excuse me your hine a$$ for reading the question wrong! My main point was that it sux we have to stare at the sun when it's OUR home field...c-ya.

[GrTigers6]

Our home side faces the sun but thats just because we are awesome hosts. :D

Navasota doesn't run East to West.

[jdawg2012]

Jasper's does. Took me 10 minutes to convince the referees at Friday's game. I was checking the wether on my phone and he asked what it looked like and I pointed towards the home stands and said "It's north of us." He looked at me crazy and said that would be west. But it's not. (I work the chains, thats why I was on the field.)

[Flypattern]

Mexia Blackcat Stadium runs east and west.

Giddings runs N/S, alongside Hwy 77 which heads North out of town. It might be just slightly NW/SW, but definitely not E/W. Rockdale is NE/SW, but not E/W.

[rojosgirl]

Sorry, but who cares? :doh:

It depends on which Birdville staium you're talking about. Birdville Fine Arts and Athletic Complex, where a lot of playoff games are held, runs east and west. The "old" Birdville stadium that is still used for track meets, under-varsity games, as well as a couple of Haltom home games each year, runs north and south.

I was speaking of BISD Fine Arts and Athletics. I didn't even know of another stadium,lol... I thought I was losing it!!! Watched a few games there and thought that it was east/west.

[Phantom Stang]

The home crowd in Rotan faces the sun.

[Falcongrad&Dad]

Falcon Stadium runs East/West. Games start at 7:30, right? Sun is almost down by that time. And way down after the time changes.

[LH_Tuff]

Liberty Hill's 3-headed monster runs north/south, endzone to endzone. By the time the sun goes down and the visitors can see the field, they are behind by 21. ;)

Check out google maps. LH's field may not run due east/west but it definitely doesn't run north/south.:rolleyes:

Well, having been there many times over the last 10 years and sitting on both sides, that the sun is definitely in the eyes of the visitor side. It runs more NE/NW.

That is true, as the sun does not set due west most of the year.

Looking at Google Maps. The stadium runs NW/NE.
