Nicest Stadiums in 3A

[NECKS_17]

What's your opinion on the nicest stadiums in 3a? post pics if you can find any

[greendawg84]

Mineral Wells

[Bosqueville]

North Forney, Mineral Wells, Lubbock Cooper

[ccmom]

Mineral Wells I'll agree with that.

I also Sweetwater's Mustang Bowl is awesome...especially with the recent renovations.

[YTBulldogs]

LaVernia Bear Stadium

But, their parking is very bad. Be prepared to walk a long distance if your the visitors. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

[Phantom Stang]

Mustang Bowl in Sweetwater. I also like Brownwood's stadium.

[ronwx5x]

Navasota.

Although they arent officially 3A yet, Springtown will have a nice one!!

[bobcat4life]

Snyder has the worst stadium in 3A:

292

[YTBulldogs]

Curious, are there any nice grass Stadium's anymore?

Ours is grass. And the grass is well kept. The stadium itself is a little smallish, particularly the visitors' side. ;)

In our district, all the grass fields stink. Columbus had the best grass field we played on this year.

[ccmom]

Ours is grass. And the grass is well kept. The stadium itself is a little smallish, particularly the visitors' side. ;) Very true, BUT the people treat visitors like family! Especially when visitors drive a LONG way for a game that ends up getting cancelled! My son who was 7 at the time thought hanging out in your gym was awesome! That's a good thing because Daddy's nerves were wearin thin! We will always be Panther Fans!

[87 TIGER]

The Navasota stadium is very nice but the dressing room for the visitors was not thought ought very well, by the time you get there its time to walk back, they need something closer to the field. The Liberty Hill stands on the visitor side are not centered run from the 40 to the 20 but i hear they are getting a new field.

Big Spring wishes they had a stadium that nice!

You are correct. What you see isn't anywhere close to the original design of Rattler Stadium (from what I remember). However, it is still a nice stadium.

What I would like to see is:

1. Increasing the visitors side seating and parking.
2. Building a visitors locker room closer to the visitors side.
3. Adding restrooms and consessions under the home side seating.
4. Get instant replay.
5. Advertise more on the schools website. It's a shame that we have only hosted 2-3, maybe 4, playoff games since opening.

[Matthew328]

Mineral Wells is the nicest single school ISD 3A stadium I've run across...

North Forney is nice...Dallas Madison when they use Kincaide as a home field is also real nice...

Groesbeck and Gladewater are a little older but I still like both of them as well..

always thought Groesbecks was a nice little stadium.................hasn't Teague gotten a nicer stadium now?

[LH Panther Mom]

That's because we added on, at some point. They did run from the 40 to the 40, I think. :D


The new stadium should be VERY nice!

[mwrams]

As I live 1 mile from Ram Stadium in Mineral Wells I must agree. I pass it everyday as I drop my son off at school. The football stadium, baseball,softball and Jackie Harvey Track Complex are awesome. Not all of these are on the taxpayers $ either. The land, Baseball, softball fields were donations. The track field built by the citizens of Mineral Wells and the Stadium with bonds. Now if we could just get a really good coach.

I have seen the plans for it and it will be very nice ! Congrats to The Hill , they will finally have a stadium to be proud of. ( and my future Bulldawgs will get to play in it !):wave:

[BullBoy]

Mineral Wells and Sweetwater

[pirate4state]

My homer pick is Sinton. At least in our little corner of the state. ;)

[Snyder_TigerFan]

Oh now, don't get carried away. Improvements have been made the last couple of years, plus stand and pressbox renovations have been approved. Should look much different next year. With these renovations, Snyder will have some of the nicest facilities in the area.

[Cool_Arrow]

http://www.texasbob.com/stadium/stadium.php?id=210

Sinton's stadium

And also before they laid down the turf it was also a very well kept grass field.

[SintonPirateFan]

as an overall sports complex, there's not many 3A schools that compare to ours.

holding a 4A area round matchup is a testament to how nice our football stadium has become. they could have easily played at buc stadium.

Gladewater's looks nice.

[MGAR]

Gladewater's looks nice.

They do a really nice job with it considering it's 26 years old.

[waterboy]

Gladewater's looks nice.
About the only thing I don't like about Jack V. Murphy / Bear Stadium in Gladewater is the visitor's seating. It's smallish -- might hold 1,500 fans............well, that, and it's in that stinky town of Gladewater, lol!

Stephenville's (Tarleton's Memorial) stadium. I think they need an updated photo! Looks much better now with new turf. lol

[jason]

gordon wood needs a new sound system...

unless it has been updated since last season...

[hollywood]

Not 3A, but not bad for a 6-man stadium

Badly!!

In today's paper, there is actually an article of a new proposal of getting a new scoreboard w/video screen and I would hope a new sound system is included in that. Much needed I agree.

That is pretty slick for a 6man..

Would suck for them if they somehow grew enough for 1A.

[Pendragon13]

Always overlooked, but one of the better stadiums now after the renovation a couple years ago. Largest video board (high school) in west Texas....and the most seating capacity in district 5-3A, nice pressbox with separate areas for opposing coaches, and a ELEVATOR :thumbsup:

It is nice! Too bad 7,000 seating is on the home side!!! :stirpot:

That might have been funny if it was even close to accurate. Actually, even if it was accurate it wouldn't be funny. Thanks for playing, though!:taunt::wave:

[DavidWooderson]

North Texas sadly has some crappy stadiums.

Aubrey's nice but the visitor's seating is really bad, plus their sound system is terrible.
Sanger's is okay but the visitors have to walk about 5 miles to get to their seats.
Celina's is okay but visitor bleachers are still small and the parking situation may be the worst in the State of Texas.
Prosper has done a good job of updating their old crap heap.
Pilot Point our's is just bad. Home side is nice, but our visitor situation for fans and lockerroom is embarrassing.

If I had to pick a top 3 for this area, it'd be 1. Van Alstyne, 2. Gainesville, 3. Princeton, they've done a nice job of updating their stadium.

Yeah and has less room for parking on the visitor's side than Mustang Bowl. :rolleyes:

[Bullaholic]

Trent has a nice 6-man stadium, too!

And, they keep gorillas there, too...:D

The "Nostalgia" factor is one of the biggest things going for the Mustang Bowl. Many a great game in several classifications has been played there by some outstanding teams. It has sort a "Lambeau" feel to it.

Wow. Quite a compliment. Thanks Bull.

1500 is smallish for visitors???? LMAO! If we had 1500, our visitors would think they were either lost or had died & gone to heaven! :D

[ctown81]

Carthage has a very nice stadium, considering that our old stadium was probably the worst in 3a.

[Sweetwater Red]

Replacing the stands is/was the biggest need for y'alls stadium before all the other renovations that were done IMO. I agree that once the stands are replaced Snyder will have really nice all-around facilities. Just still not on par with Sweetwater. :)

How many other stadiums don't have a track around it?

When your at a Hondo football game,the seating is right by the football field so,your like on the field...Your here the coaches yelling at players and get to hear the hard hitting on the sidelines...Very cool....

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Hondo stadium is awesome! Hadn't seen a stadium like that with white picket fence around the field.

Yea... First one that popped in my head with no track for some reason..

Only one I can think of in East Texas is Brownsboro.

Cool little stadium. Can't find a good pick of it.. Has same rock setting from back when it opened, years ago.
