Last night at halftime of the Sunday Night game they talked about Cathedral High School which plays football but does not have their own home field. Crazy. Here www.cathedral-irish.org/page.cfm?p=208 is their schedule, they have "home" games, but they're played at other team's fields. That's a tough hurdle to overcome. |

many people that are not from this area, i live around maybe 2 miles from this school maybe a little more. they recruit heavily so they alway have great talent. yes i said they recruit in high school. but its not that big a deal i would rather play away games than home games anyways. i always hated home games. but anyways if u always play away games you get accustom to playing at opponents fields so i dont think it is that big of an advantage. but also they probably have the best fans in the state their fans travel really good. they even have great numbers when the travel out of state too play

It's not that uncommon esp for private schools around here to not have a true home field. We have no Home field to speak of, we play either at the city municipal stadium as do 3 public schools and 1 other private school or we play on a college field that is affiliated with our school. When I coached at a larger school we played St Ignatius and Ed's in Ohio and neither of them had true home fields. Like I said it's prob. more common than you think for private schools and inner city schools in a lot of areas.
We deal with it and it has never been a huge issue for us. If we play at the college we met at the HS and walk down and use their locker rooms. If we play at the city stadium we met there and use the locker facility. It is actually pretty nice since both are quality facilities with great press boxes and turf, so we are not looking at the back of parents heads like we do at so many teams fields in their press boxes.

yeah, its not uncommon in the city where space is tight, a couple smaller schools may not have stadiums and may share.
i know some, like long beach poly, has an on-campus stadium but doesnt play there....they play at long beach city college's stadium, since it's a lot bigger and better. the JV and freshman teams play at the actual school's stadium.

a thousand years ago when I was student teaching at Wheaton Central (Illinois) they were working on their football field. We played our homecoming game against Wheaton North at Wheaton North.
