Grandstands

I found this interesting link for grandstands:

It basically has the number of rows and the length of the stands plus how much it costs.

Marysville

Marysville tore down its old concrete stadium and is in the process of putting up a new home for the Vikings. Field-turf is being installed, and I hear the facility is looking pretty impressive. Hopefully the team they put on that field will look a little more impressive than the 0-9 squad of 2007.

If you read some of the comments, some people are PO'd about this. They voted on it two school years ago! I unfortunantely live a city of idiots!

Atwood Stadium

feeds@kickapps.com (aowwt) — Fri, 30 May 2008 04:40:29 PST

It appears that a large group of donors including MSU has been helping renovations of this historic stadium. From the article I read it looks like new Infill Turf could be in place shortly. YIPPEE one down two more to get rid of.

Martin Luther King's FIELD?

feeds@kickapps.com (MahatmaG) — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 11:51:10 PST

Can someone please tell me where MLK's field is? I'm planning on going to the game against Dearborn Saturday and I'm not sure where the field is. I believe the school is on Lafayette on the east side. Any help would be appreciated. Do they have field turf and how large are the stands if anyone knows? Thanks a lot!

Lansing Everett

feeds@kickapps.com (Searn) — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 13:50:54 PST

After reports of the away side being about the same as the hope I decided to look up Everett ... looks like solid seating on both sides + no track around the field ... looks like a great place to watch a game.

Woodhavens football field

feeds@kickapps.com (timclement) — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 02:54:12 PST

Woodhaven has a great field. The only thing i can see wrong with it is the endzones are not done with school name because it is used for soccer and football. That probably is ok for that school because the football program there is not that great but soccer is big at that school. I have been to a couple of games ther great home stands and away stands. You should definatly check it out on google earth it is really clear area and is just recenlty updated tell me what you think!!!!

Kickers...

feeds@kickapps.com (EKDAD) — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 19:50:02 PST

If you have a young boy who wants to play football at the next level, put him in kicking camps and develop his talent! There seems to be a shortage of real good kickers at all levels. With the huge growth of soccer in Michigan, you would think there would be more really good kickers than there are. I realize that the soccer season runs at simutaniously with football, but seems like one of those guys would defect! I understaind some soccer purest llo down thier noses to American football. But you wouyld think there is one guy on the soccer team who would like the spot of the kid on the football team who can kick the ball to Mars and win the game etc.

John Potter at Grand Haven is a guy who is extra special. He is the best I have seen in highschool in the 30 plus years I have been watching highschool football. Rockford has had their share of great kickers. Yet, they have both had long stretches without a great kicker. Is this shortage due to kids not wanting to kick when...

My Summer Stadium Tour

feeds@kickapps.com (aowwt) — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 01:17:43 PST

Well I finally felt I had enough of the site up to say yes I can go on my stadium tour. I hit a few Wyoming and Border schools today. I will post some of the pics and stuff at a later time but needless to say I have nice pic of EK now and Jenison is looking nice.

BTW I am compiling a list of schools who are on my locked gates list. Basically any time a public school locks its gates to its public facilities it goes on my list as mean spirited schools. Right now I have Wyoming Park, Hudsonville, Rockford, Middleville, Greenville, Cedar Springs on this list. If anybody from that school wants to comment to me about it feel fine to but the fact remains that they bar any access to a publically funded facility which in my mind is illegal in some respect.

Of the Private Facilities I have gone to only Grand Rapids Christian was...

Forest Park's Field

feeds@kickapps.com (BaLLeR J) — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 04:01:20 PST

From what I saw at your site you just need the Name, Surface, and capacity. I don't know the formula you use to determine the capacity, but I think it would be the length by the number of rows.

Name: Dick Mettlach Field

Surface: Grass

Capacity: (Home) 77 ft. x 10 rows
(Away) 75 ft x 6 rows

Pre Season GWC Top 5

1. Forest Park
2. Bessemer
3. Baraga
4. Ontonagon
5. Hurley

Some Info I found out tonight

feeds@kickapps.com (aowwt) — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 06:11:52 PST

I am doing my seasonal search of the web about turf companies that came into Michigan and laid down a field and didnt tell anybody about it.

I found out that Lansing Public Schools in 2003 decided to put a bond. The Bond was split with Part 1 passing. Part 2 included some atheletic renovations that included placing infill turf on 3 of the districts fields. Well Part 2 of course failed. Stupid people. In anycase thats why the district placed grass on the fields. In anycase I thought I let you guys know what was occuring in lansing.

high school football layout

Here is how the field is suppose to be layed out;

I'm shocked that aowwt didn't post this already.

Saline

feeds@kickapps.com (statman24) — Sun, 11 Jun 2006 05:01:13 PST

Checked out the field at Saline today. Wow... very nice facility. Much much nicer than the new field over at Detroit Catholic Central (Novi).

I need to make a trip up to Macomb Dakota some time. I hear that's awesome!

Define Stadium

feeds@kickapps.com (BiasedGuy) — Sun, 14 May 2006 15:02:01 PST

Define stadium.

New fields like Detroit Catholic Central call theirs a stadium. I see a gorgeous new 'Gurf' field, huge stands, great facilities....fine. But I see no 'stadium.'

Birmingham Seaholm however has a submerged (sorta) field, with concrete retaining wall. THAT strikes me as a stadium.

Any thoughts?

Anything definitive?
