Hornetcoach Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Whiteland - James Sleighter Field Mr. Sleighter was a long time principal at Whiteland Community High School Quote
BDGiant93 Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 At one time, Ben Davis' Giants Stadium was named Dr. Sidney Spencer Field. That name went by the wayside. It's now just Giants Stadium. Quote
DE Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I wish Lake Central would name their field after Coach Elmer Britton. 1 Quote
johnny U Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I hate seeing football stadiums and gymnasiums named after Administers. If you want to honor a principal name the principles office after him. Even the poorest coach has made a bigger contribution to the program than any Administrator has. Quote

Can't really explain it, just my opinion. That’s fine, but he is one of the best coach and man in all of high school football!! I’m sure he doesn’t want the recognition, but it is well earned!! 1 Quote

BDGiant93 Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) (Should be) Mike Kirschner Field at Dick Dullaghan Stadium. Edited December 11, 2020 by BDGiant93 Quote
Bobref Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Is this too off-topic for this thread? I enjoy interesting nicknames for stadiums. I saw some great games at The Boneyard when Russ’ wishbone was crushing the opposition. Ditto for The Inferno at Lowell, in Kirk Kennedy’s heyday. Always got a kick out of the Plymouth Rockpile, with one of the best student sections anywhere. What are some other nicknames, official or unofficial? Quote

Basementbias Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 We have "The Landing Strip at Minnich Field" for Coach Rick Minnich. We needed something to go with The Hangar in the Airstrip of Monroe. I don't believe anything else athletics wise has been named for anyone else. Quote

I don't know why they just didn't make it the Airstrip instead of specifying it as "The Landing Strip". Our new sports complex is called the SAC (sack not S. A. C. all spaced out). Quote
MarshallCounty Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Don J Bunge Field in Bremen, named for the patriarch of Bremen football. He started the program in the 50’s. Planted the grass seed himself on that field. Quote
