Coach Morales Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 my guess is they want a field that is either turf or not torn up at this time of the year... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Dwenger for allowing use this Friday good luck to the saints in tournament play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny U Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 For a school with a great winning tradition in football, Luers has the worst facilities of any successful programs in the state. Talking about playing field, press box, concession stand, restrooms. dressing rooms etc. Most schools with multiple state championship have just outstanding facilities, except Luers. I don't blame them for moving to Dwenger. Any place is better than Luers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Fan Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Oh no. Get ready to hear all the Cathedral fans join the conversation about field surface and how the best football is played in the mud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07_statechamp54 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Luers has moved games before due to weather. Only usually happens when there’s a pour down like last week. Fort Wayne got over an inch of rain from Thursday evening into Friday afternoon. It was a mess out there. I’m sure ANY grass surface wouldn’t hold up after an inch of rainfall with 2 top teams like Snider and Luers gettin after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly have never seen the fields at Fort Wayne North, South or Wayne High schools. All are in MUCH worse shape than Luersfield. Spuller Stadium (Snider,Northrop) was bad before the turf and I’ve heard so many bad stories about Arlingtons field down there for Cathedral.

It's frustrating for Luers parents and fans when we see one public school after another getting field turf paid for by taxes that they have to pay into. By the way I'd rather have crap facilities than a crap program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very difficult to get to the outside, cut, etc. Definitely slowed the game down. Not sure how the fields compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way we wouldn't have to see that hideous Bruin 6+ times a year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North, South, or Wayne don't have the winning tradition Luers has. As stated before most schools with winning tradition have good facilities, but not Luers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us Miners sorta think we have a winning tradition as well and play on grass. I dont recall Linton ever changing locations for a game but I think maybe 1. Kudos to Luers for being able to do that. Although its a drag for the fans and players IMHO it shows sportsman ship. Their field is trashed I guess and had the guts to call Kings X here. You gotta love it!

Penn has had turf for a long time now but I recall them soliciting private donations for it. Still surprising to me that Luers can't find a way to fund it. Off the top of my head, I know they have professional football and baseball players that have made pretty good money and I'm sure there are some other wealthy families in the fold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne is getting turf AFTER this season. The new Superintendent is also fast tracking turf for North and South...so that issue will be eliminated as it pertains to FWCS. There are all sorts of "rumors" as to why/who offered to fund turf for Luers. No need to get into that...but as of now, they don't have turf. But I assure you that prominent former players did offer to fund a turf field. It just didn't/hasn't happened. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
