Of course I'm partial to Spartan, but that field is something special. There are very few stadiums that hold the memories of Spartan in Ohio, if not the country. It's a shame that the stadium is in such bad condition. I'd love to see it restored. Besides my old home stadium, though? Believe it or not, I'd have to say East's Allard park. The field itself isn't great, but the atmosphere is nuts. The fans are crazy, especially considering that the stands are so close in. If a player gets knocked out of bounds hard enough, he could be in the third row of the bleachers splitting popcorn with psyco tartan :lol:

The tank, with the locker room under the stands was honestly the only time I've ever felt intimidated to go out for warmups, much less play football. Really enjoyed the experience though.

I wouldn't trade the old West field for anything. Great environment and a real home field advantage unlike what we have now, which is nice to look at, but really lacking in character and distance from the field.

I was lucky enough to play in the new Minford Stadium. Great grass, I'll take grass like we have over turf any day. Crowd is right on top of the field. When the stadium is packed it is a lot of fun to play at.

Spartan was very cool to play at. You could almost feel this history there. I wonder what $10 Million would have done to that place? Would've been one of the top HS stadiums in the tri-state. Their new stadium is very nice, but I wish they had stayed at Spartan.

Never played there but thought the tank would be intimidating.

Always wanted to play in Canton with snow on the ground, never made it though. :razz:
