How about a little high school football talk?
Not counting your home stadium, where is your favorite high school field to visit?

Maryville. There field is very viewer friendly. Great place to broadcast. Thoroughly enjoyed working their all year and look forward to the 2016 season.
News says the new bleachers will be in the same location, built similar construction to the home side. Concrete pad, aluminum bleachers. If you liked the old aluminum seating, plan to attend a few baseball games. The old seating will replace the wooden seating at the baseball field.
Seneca, with no track around the football field the opposing bleachers are very close to the field. Easier to hear the coaches and players exchanges during the game. Like the totem pole in the end zone.
Seneca, its a great environment and if you have ever been to a big game there when there were a lot of people around the field standing in addition to the stands being so close, it is pretty awesome.
Willard, solely for their funnel cakes!
I really like Carrollton. They have an amazing pork burger as well!
On a side note, does anyone know if Knob Noster still has the unfinished bleachers? I remember them having the concrete slab but never installed the bleachers.

I like Junge stadium, I like the old WPA concrete bleachers the history of it, but yet how they have really made nice improvements to Junge over the years and lots of seating.
I like Seneca based on the fact that there is no track, but let's be real seating is horrible, and come later in the year if there has been any rain the field is in terrible shape.
I like Ozark and Branson how they are cut into the earth Neosho is pretty neat the way the home side is in the hillside.

Totem pole? The Seneca were part of the Iroquois Nation and several thousand miles away where totem poles were made. They did later have totem poles to draw (put in appropriate adjective here) tourists to their "authentic" (appropriate adjective) shops.
Ozark. I like their brick press box, looks like a mini version of some that you see at the college level. Good seating on the home and away sides, and it sits down at the bottom of the valley which offers a cool view from the visitors side.
I would have to agree. Burlington Field in Brookfield is an amazing place, when we visit it seems like their is something special in the atmosphere.
As cool as Ozarks press box looks it is a gigantic wast of space. Very little working pace. Very easily could have been a two levels to accommodate press better.
Personally, I dont get the love affair with Seneca. The playing surface is probably the worst in the Big 8. I know the seating is getting redone and it needed to because i had heard that the visitor section was on the verge of being condemned. I don't like the long walk through the Seneca faithful back and forth to the locker room. That can get a little hairy at times. The totem pole is cheesy.
I know guys that absolutely love to go there. Then there are people like me. I just dont get. I have been a part of big games there, but i dont feel like the environment at the big game was any better there than any other Big 8 school.
I will say the Dancing Indian they have come out before the game is pretty sweet.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS is a beautiful stadium. They probably spent more on landscape blocks than most class 1, 2, 3 schools have spent on entire stadium. If that were Webb, Kearney, Lamar, Maryville etc. would probably be winner winner....
As a player it was fun to play in Seneca, even though I agree, the surface was not great. But as a coach I absolutely hate going to Seneca! Too many coaches in the stands can voice their opinions to easily there!
Yeah, never been to Lamar, but it compares favorably with Kearney and Webb. Maryville? Not at all in the same category.
My criteria for a good facility for the fans: enough comfortable seating for fans of both teams, enough parking, PA announcer that is to the point and doesn't try to be an espn highlight host, bathrooms with plenty of stalls and close proximity to stands, concession stand close to the stands.
For broadcasting: enough room in press box, a booth closed off from the rest of press box, windows that open or are removable, deep enough counter to hold equipment and stat sheets, fewer stairs to climb with equipment the better.

I really like Walnut Heights. Great place to watch a game, even in the rain!
Harrisonville has a really nice facility. Although sometimes watching a game as an opposing fan isn't any fun. There are some numbskull fans there.....
The stadium that holds the most favorable memories for me would have to be THE EDWARD JONES DOME... I couldn't resist.
How about Sedalia --- i liked the old concrete one with the red dog track - Jennie Jaynes - and now the new one is state of the art!
