The most cost effective thing would be to build a small stadium for under classmen! jmo[/quote]Almost every 3a and under school plays every game on the same field for all levels.

mat Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 You can play on dirt if needed but the real problem is divots and uneven ground. You run the risk of more injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP#1FAN Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I don't know about Silsbee but WOS is tuff enough to play on a parking lot ! That's a fact ! Hope both teams have a injury free game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobcatfan4life Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Isn't the old Tiger Stadium still standing? If there are major field issues why doesn't the middle school play their games at the old place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is used for the youth football league. Also they have taken down the lights there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdog Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have access to a disk setup that will pull behind a cart or a 4-wheeler. If someone wants me to I could bring it over after the season. I only charge $25 a yard. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
