Jackson Stadium

[rxburgfan]

heard the stadium was being condemned is this true i hope so they need a new stadium.

A plan is being looked into. A $9.4 million dollar design is in the works. It will seat 11,750 and also include the adjacent land that is going to have a 3 story parking garage that will hold around 600 cars/trucks

Now that’s a building program. Hope it happens.

The field across the road from the stadium is really the main parking area and it was closed due to wet and soft grass . Just bad timing . I came up the 139 side and was parked by a Jackson employee waving me around with an umbrella . That was about 30 mins prior . So I did witness a Jackson employee parking cars

Burg travels the best gallia and wellston would pack the visitors stands. I haven’t heard attendance but I would say it was one of the biggest ever. I also remembered we played Ironton beat them by a field goal I think. That place was packed that night wolford was coach then.

Yes this is the ironshoe expansion! Closing in the north end adding 5000 seats. We are working closely with the Jackson county commissioners and Appalachian rural development! This may end up being a Dome community center for concerts expo.

Doggone, I bet the cost of parking is going up! lol

It’s being discussed. Proposed $2 as normal and $350 per County #27 tag

Lol! That's good stuff!

I believe you but that also doesn’t sound right. Typically around 5 different people (maintenance/custodial staff) pointing you to a recommended area. I didn’t arrive until the end of the second quarter so I just picked a spot that wasn’t really legal but not constricting traffic.

We got there 35 minutes before kickoff and never had a soul directing us. We came up the 139 side and there was no one there at all.

Did you turn right at the top to go around the backside of the school or go straight?

Went straight.

[sportsdude]

parking has never been a issue for me. I also saw some school employees directing you where to go. i have never known of anyone to park at the middle school.

Nicest facility in southern Ohio.

Yeah at that point you're just parking in a parking lot that's pretty simple, if you go to the right where they typically have a sign directing you to turn right and not straight you wouldve come across ppl directing tyhe parking.

It should be nice, they have a $15,000.00 flag pole.

I thinknit is third behind Valley and Chillicothe.

Valley has great parking and awesome football facilities.
Chillicothe just has it all...great venue to watch a game. Jackson's facilities are great, but parking is terrible for the size stadium they have.

So dumb to say Chillicothe has it all...where are you parking there? Valley can’t hold the people in the seats but has the parking. Yeah cram 8,000 in our stadium with lot across from stadium out of use due to large amounts of rain that week and yes, short on parking spots.

Chillicothe has everything that Jackson has. Can't think of anything they dont have. As for parking...you can park all over town. Jackson you have to walk a mile from the old school straight up a hill. Not to mention pay for parking.

Like I said....I think Valley is number 1. Chillicothe is 2. Jackson 3. If Jackson would pave the large grass field beside the parking lot....they could move up to Chilli's level.

Chillicothe charges $3 to park . Jackson had plenty of parking . But I agree all 3 are top notch facilities .

Way less seating and parking at the school. “You can park all over town” lol. If you are the 5,000th person to walk through the gate at Jackson you have a better parking spot than the 1,000th person through Chillicothe’s gate...but yeah I suppose you could park at Sumburger and that’s better than walking up a big hill because you weren’t one of the first 5,000 in attendance.

Chillicothe is $3 to park and Jackson is $2

Chillicothe has a great stadium but parking on city streets blocks away isn’t prime. Valley has the huge parking lot.

Chillicothe has no where near the concession, parking, restroom or seating that Jackson has. This is silly by some on here.

[Raider6309]

Chillicothe has turf and that’s about it. Comparing it to Jackson is laughable. I’d rather play at D6 NY than D2 Chillicothe

The attraction of Hernstein Field in Chillicothe is the setting. It just has an old school feel to it being on Arch Street. The upgrades to Hernstien give it the modern basic amenities. Jackson's Alumni stadium is a palace but has sterile vibes.

Depends on the game. Burg’s has that small town awesome atmosphere but probably not real jamming when they are up 49-0 in the early 3rd qtr.

Alumni doesn’t have a bad seat in the house and also no track to help some with closeness but big games are far from sterile. When the opposition travels 200 people and we are up by 30....yeah, it’s quite dead

Full stadiums are almost always booming and exciting, 1/2 full ones rarely are
