To WO-S players, coaches and fans, Silsbee apologizes

I would think anyone named Farmer Fran could bring their John Deer Tractor over and do a good disc job after the season.  ;)

Does the Middle schools play there too? If so I can see why it gets in bad shape at the end of the season.

All Silsbee ISD games are played at Tiger Stadium. Varsity, JV, freshmen, 8th A and B, 7th A and B.
[/quote]Thats way to many games on the same field. 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. Only ones who dont are when the jr high plays on the old high school fields once a new school is built

[Stangpride]

Our middle school boys play there tomorrow,  im sure it wont affect us to much for winning across the board.. ;D

You can play on dirt if needed but the real problem is divots and uneven ground. You run the risk of more injuries.

field gonna be in perfect shape miraculously by Friday.  ;)

Yes indeed it would.

[DP#1FAN]

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.

REAL football is to be played on grass.  Classic football is to be played in the conditions...  That includes mud as well.  What do you think teams did before there was turf?

+1!!!

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?

[Guest donniebarnwell]

No reason why more schools down this way dont have turf..thats one thing i havent figured out..8 out of 10 schools in the DFW and Tyler Longview area have turf...thats including 1A,2A, and 3A schools.

[Gasilla]

Yes we are WAY behind the 8 ball in this area as far as turf goes.

Haven't been by there in a while but don't think there are any visitor stands and very little on the home stand.

Kirby Memorial Stadium is basically still there but they have replaced the bleachers with much smaller bleachers, may could hold about 300 max. It is used for the youth football league.

Also they have taken down the lights there.

Most of our schools down here don't have the the tax base to reasonably afford a million dollar turf

I think it has more to do with schools up that way being willing to do whatever it takes to get first class facilities...u would be surprised how many schools up that way have not only turf fields but also indoor facility...u have to bite the bullet and keep up with the Jones if u want to compete these days...it's called "buying wins"

They played without turf toe, turf burns, less sprained ankles, torn ACL's, tendon fatigue..................

Okay, I was on that field two weeks ago and its just fine, no its not turf but compared to what we all played on its great! I guess you never stepped foot on Kirby Stadium field you talk about rough. TURF NO! repairing our elementary and junior high campus' that are falling down around our kids YES! You cant find a bigger football fan but that field is a last resort on what Silsbee ISD needs to worry about.

When Silsbee played at old Kirby Memorial, it was was one the best fields to play on, back in the day.

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.  :)

I told you.

Gas I figured you would make it out on the field tonight and was hoping you would give an honest assessment on the condition.

It's terrible from the 20 to 20 and in between the hashes.
