I'm sure most on here have been to more playoff venues than I have. I really enjoy Memorial Stadium in Mesquite and Waco ISD Stadium. Hallsville has a great stadium as well.


What are some of your favorites?

The local high school team here in Stillwater has a pretty nice stadium.

Looks like you would be a mile away from the field.


Waco ISD and Cowboys stadium for me. Or anywhere without at track.

Nope, but they don't have an extra 10 yards of random white pavement then 10 more yards worth of walkways.

This place looks like a carbon copy of Jackie Hendricks Stadium in Princeton. Looks like a pretty good place to play.


As for Mustang Bowl, that place is awesome. Tons of history and a great place to watch a game. Sort of like Richards Park in Waxahachie for baseball.

if Waco still has the local Nazi sheriffs running the place then it sucks....they work at running off the future bidness...

and for the Famous Orange it worked.....

Cowboys Stadium of course. But other than that I would have to say Aledo and Midlothian. I just like the atmosphere there.

Mustang Bowl. There's more than one reason a little 3A school is hosting 3 playoff games
this weekend.

I've always loved the Mustang Bowl, but I also really really like Grande in Midland. :clap:

everytime i go to waco the parking is so bad that i have to park oin the side of the road and there always several cars on the side of the road. floyd casey might be worse but for the field itself they are both real good

After visiting Mineral Wells for Wylie vs Burkburnett...any playoff team (including 5A schools) should consider that stadium for a game. Everyone was like "this is a 3A school stadium?":eek:

It was kind of like Mansfield ISD stadium on a slightly smaller scale...but almost as nice, and much nicer than some of the others mentioned in this thread such as Waco ISD.

edit- but their scoreboard still isn't as good as Wylie's Bulldog stadium.:D

On the radio broadcast they were talking about how similar that stadium is to Wylie's stadium (except the scoreboard ;) ). . They said Mineral Wells was one of the places visited when making plans for our renovations a couple of years ago.
