1. Jayton
2. Borden County
3. Blackwell
4. Hermleigh
5. Garden City

Windfarm $$$ being the common denominator?

Shame on me, but I have not been to Garden City. Looks beautiful on Google maps.
Robert Lee is great and add to Homelanders 5 for me.
Highland, grass, is great.
Newcastle, grass and still under construction. Field and stands are great.
Iredell, grass, great.
Sterling City was on bucket list and now should be great for 11-man.
I have enjoyed all of them

Im pretty partial to Blanket. Great facility

 

[BigCzech]

Abbott has the best facilities.

Anyone who’s been to Rankin will probably agree, they have one of the best in the state that I’ve seen! Robert Lee is also very nice! Balmorhea’s new stadium is another that’s very nice!

I'll miss the downhill slope of the old field....

I know it won't make anyone's top list, but I am pretty partial to this place.

Passed through there last week for the first time ever. Made a block when I noticed the field just off the main highway and it looks like a pretty nice stadium from what I could tell just driving by.

Thurber Tech Troubadours plays their home games in the Trio Club's parking lot in downtown Mingus, broken glass and all. They save money on night games by using the neon lights from the club. Some nights you can hear Brooks and Dunn in the background, other nights just Wille Nelson. Willie thinks Abbott can take Gordon, by the way.

Yes, I agree with you about Rankin. Pretty sweet facility. State of the art scoreboard with video capability. I like how the stadium lights go out and the red lights shine when the red devils score. I hear they are building a multi million $ golf course also. Must visit if you haven't in my opinion.

Rankin hands down and not even close!

Great facilities are nice to have. But like my Grandad always said, “The clothes don’t make the man”.

It is probably as much of a problem for the few wealthy schools to try to figure out how to blow all of their excess money as it is for the common (no oil, gas, or wind) school districts to try to figure out how to just pay their bills.

I looked at several of these on the map and it appears that the new ones used the same builder, lol. The fields look the same, just different colors, names, and mascots.Tthe homestands and press boxes look the same. The differences are whether or not they have the track going around the football field, making it oval, or no track, making it rectangular. Also, the size of the visitor's side stands, the style of scoreboard, and probably a bigee, the placement and style of the concession and restrooms. The surrounding area makes a difference too, with those that have a scenic background being more aesthetically pleasing.

Yes, that was in progress last time I was there. I believe a new gymnasium is also being planned.

More like oil money! The richest tax base school districts in the state that have phenomenal facilities are oil rich. Go look at Rankin.

Willie may have external factors influencing that opinion....

Baird has a very cool setup. I’ve heard Savoy’s field is phenomenal, but I’ve never seen it in person.
