Stephenville peeps

[ccmom]

So is all this talk about how Stephenville would never schedule a playoff game at Gordon Wood Stadium true or are y'all just kidding? I noticed several different people have said that, including those not from Sville. What's the deal with being so Anti GWS? I'm honestly curious.

[ccmom]

Also a couple of people posted that Brownwood would have no problem playing in Sville but only because SISD doesn't own the stadium. I'm fascinated by all this love these two towns have for each other!! ;)

[GrTigers6]

It may be because the jackets didnt have a very good record at GWS. in the past!

[ccmom]

I'm pretty sure they have won there A LOT in recent years.

[Sweetwater Red]

Also, almost every single Brownwood poster I've ever spoken to says Stephenville folks consider it a bigger rivalry than the Brownwood folks.
I just wonder if the Yellowjacket fans say the same thing about the Brownwood peeps. :thinking:

[Matthew328]

I dunno if its because the stadium is Brownwood or what, but the staff at Stephenville doesn't like GWS...why they dont like it....I got no idea...is it something about the stadium they dont like, or if its not the stadium itself but the fact the stadium is Brownwood's....all I know is Stephenville doesn't want to play there and won't play there unless they lose some flips

[Ville-D]

From someone deep in the Stephenville football program: "Because it is Brownwood" ;)

[hollywood]

I personally like GWS... a lot!

Nice venue if you're not hung up on the idiotic hooplah. But then again, people get quirky about stuff like that. ;)

[slingshot]

Too bad--it would be a natural even distance neutral site if we end up playing... maybe they would go for Shotwell. ;)

[Smitty]

its a crappy drive, and no good places to eat.

[hollywood]

If SV/AW game happens, Brownwood is the best geographic location by far. Unless Mineral Wells could be an option. There is nothing between SV and AW other than BW.

[toddg]

love or hate the brownwood lions all you want..but there is no denying the greatness of the coach and the man that the stadium is named for..he is texas high school football...and its a great place to play football!

At least you're honest!! ;)

Haha which is part of why I was interested in whether or not Sville truly WILL NOT play at GWS. Shotwell works for me!! ;)

[Pendragon13]

cowboys stadiumConsidering we played Alvarado at Birdville last year giving them a 2 hour travel advantage...that could be a possibility. Personally i would rather play in a smaller venue...leave the deathstar for the championship games.

[Matthew328]

My guess is round 3 will still have plenty of 5A and 4A games ahead of a 3A game at Cowboys...but if there was a 3A game Stephenville-Wylie would be pretty good...plus on the stadium calendar Sat Dec. 1 is listed as a "Rally Day" for Cowboys Stadium so I'm not sure it even available Rd 3 except for Friday

http://stadium.dallascowboys.com/rallyday/

I could see Aledo as a possibility, maybe Pennington Field or Birdville.....gonna need a decent sized stadium both schools have sizeable fan bases

[Coondog]

we did want to play at GWS but the sissies wouldn't play us!

[hollywood]

cowboys stadium

:2thumbsup

[Ville-D]

At least you're honest!! ;)

That wasn't my quote, btw. Since I've been in Stephenville (mid '90s) Brownwood hasn't been much of a problem.

[95mustang]

I'm pretty sure they have won there A LOT in recent years.

Maybe it's because the last time they played at Gordon Wood the Jackets were trounced and most of the ville faithful were already in Comanche headed home when the game ended. ;)

[Sville]

Mineral Wells!!!! Ram Stadium is a very nice 7,000 seat facility built in 2008 with no track.

We played there in playoffs in 2010 (I think that was when...my memory is getting questionable). Very nice stadium.

Why not Brownwood?? Will y'all seriously not play there?

it's not like gordon wood stadium is some sort of treat to play in - the stadium is old, parking is crappy, and the sound system sucks....

[ccmom]

it's not like gordon wood stadium is some sort of treat to play in - the stadium is old, parking is crappy, and the sound system sucks....

I would agree with most of that (except that I would add that the restrooms are gross), but I get the feeling those are not the reasons. I just find it all pretty funny.

[Matthew328]

Mineral Wells is only about 40 miles from Stephenville and its not big enough IMO

Coaches are weird about playoff locations...some weird quirks out there

[ccmom]

I think it has about the same capacity as GW.

Ok...that's it. Shotwell it is. Book it!:D

[Ville-D]

Don't hold back.

I love Shotwell. I played many games there in the late 80's.

[refereedoc]

Besides that Underwood's sucks. Boiled meat with sauce. YUCK!!!!

Two votes for Shotwell.:2thumbsup

[Sville]

I think it is plenty big enough. The only game I can think of that we would draw more than 3500 fans that doesn't involve Bwood or Aledo would be the SC game. Plus they have endzone room to increase the capacity.

I have no idea why the staff doesn't want to play at Bwood, but what ever reason is good enough for me.

I like Shotwell as well. It is a great atmosphere, plenty of parking and eating spaces. It really doesn't matter where we kick Wylie's @$$ at to me.

[Pendragon13]

I love Shotwell. I played many games there in the late 80's.The ironic thing is I don't think Wylie has ever played in Shotwell. :thinking:

[Sville]

Shotwell was one of the loudest stadiums I ever played in during my high school career.

I played right tackle and while the cans were shaking and the Abilene High band playing I could not hear the snap count. That is the only stadium I ever played in where I couldn't hear the snap count and had to watch the ball.

[toddg]

The ironic thing is I don't think Wylie has ever played in Shotwell. :thinking:

very ironic...

[ccmom]

Wylie and Brownwood played at Shotwell a few years back.

[Ville-D]

[ccmom]

In fact I think we have played there like 4 times?? Anyone?

[Old Tiger]

Maybe it is because GWS sux?

[83Indian]

Considering we played Alvarado at Birdville last year giving them a 2 hour travel advantage...that could be a possibility. Personally i would rather play in a smaller venue...leave the deathstar for the championship games.

i liked that a lot last year. Birdville is 5 minutes from my place of employment. HEB (where we played Henderson) is 2 minutes, and The deathstar is only 25 minutes from my home. Except for going to San Angelo last year, the travel was great for Alvarado.

[Matthew328]

I honestly think Stephenville will draw some good playoff crowds...especially a third round game against an unbeaten team..Wylie will bring 4k on you easily in the playoffs...seen them fill up Birdville a couple of times.....IMO they'd have to bring in temp bleachers at Mineral Wells or Brownwood

[Hendo]

it's not like gordon wood stadium is some sort of treat to play in - the stadium is old, parking is crappy, and the sound system sucks....

... the consession stands suck, the locker rooms suck, the bathrooms suck and Its BROWNWOOD!!!

you could play in your own stadium if you had one. I guess yall could play in Strawn or Ranger, Their high school stadium has a lot more seats than Cricketvilles does.

i was close with the unofficial...must have been rockets numbers lol!

[Johnny Moxen]

So if we look ahead to a Wylie vs. Stephenville game. Will it be a Friday night game or a Saturday game?

I heard early on that all our games would be Friday night games if at all possible.

Scared.

from an undisclosed source:

sville vs wylie
jerry world if available
wichita falls

[Matthew328]

Jerry World isn't available from my understanding...look for this game to be in Wichita Falls

[jacketbacker09]

If it was to be at JW or WF, would it be on Friday or Saturday? I'm hoping for Saturday!

[jason]

friday

[Matthew328]

Stephenville will stay on Friday if at all possible

[nobogey72]

In fact I think we have played there like 4 times?? Anyone?

I can remember 2 playoff games at Shotwell----- Vernon in in the 80's and Springtown in '95. Then we played Brownwood there in 2006 in the Champions Classic. we are 0-3 in those games.

[slingshot]

Sandifer will always try for Friday night if possible... WF seems way out of the way for both teams. S'ville just needs to get over this irrational fear/loathing of Gordon Wood Stadium and let's play there!

[Matthew328]

I honestly don't think GW Stadium is big enough a venue anyway

[Hendo]

you could play in your own stadium if you had one. I guess yall could play in Strawn or Ranger, Their high school stadium has a lot more seats than Cricketvilles does.

No, Im pretty sure that Strawn and Rangers stadium are almost as bad as Browneyes stadium.

[bwdlionfan]

I honestly don't think GW Stadium is big enough a venue anyway

Brownwood seats 800 more then Mineral Wells and has equal seating between the home and visitors.

Plus those long wheel chair ramps down each side can hold a lot of standing people. I know they have brought portable bleachers in before.

[Matthew328]

Brownwood is big enough for Stephenville-Kennedale because Kennedale doesnt travel well....Brownwood isn't big enough for Stephenville-Abilene Wylie

[bwdlionfan]

Stephenville and Brownwood had matchups in the late 90s that drew 12,000-13,000. Tarleton Memorial seats 7,000 and Gordon Wood seats 7,800.... But we all got in. There was police lines in the endzones and portable bleachers sometimes, but thats what made the atmosphere even better.

The argument about the lack of size isnt whats keeping Sville from playing in Bwood. Last year Sville WANTED to play their fourth round game against Aledo in Midlothian which seats a whopping 200 more then Brownwood.

I wonder if they considered San Angelo? San Angelo Stadium > Wichita Falls Stadium
I bet they wont go there either since theyd have to drive thru Brownwood to get there.

That was my pick....San angelo stadium....figured that would be the one....

[jacket98,99]

One of the things going against Gordon Wood in my opinion is the locker rooms. Not too great.

[hollywood]

I say Gordon Wood logistically. San Angelo doesn't make since. Wichita Falls is closer to equal distance. Jerry World would be cool.

Any updates?

My sources (pretty good) have said it will come down to WF or Cowboys stadium. Cowboys stadium is #1 choice. WF is backup plan.

99% sure it will be wichita falls.
not sure which stadium.
i would assume this one though http://www.texasbob.com/stadium/stadium.php?id=683#.UKzcT4e7N8E

Works for me and makes since... no track and closer to the field.

I never said size was the sole reason Stephenville's not playing in Brownwood...lol

I doubt a possible Stephenville-Wylie game is in San Angelo especially considering Wylie is playing there this week....

I am sure that would be the location. That is where we played Rider early in the season in 2007. I would say we brought about 2500 fans and there was still plenty of seats on the visitors side.

We are not playing in Brownwood, Get Over It.

Thats just sad...but it says a lot about stephenville.

Have to be in Austin Saturday morning and was so hoping this game would be somewhat on the way. hate going to WF for any reason.

[franz]

Play it in San Angelo
