Alabama's Top High Schools Shine Brightly On The Athletic Scene!
Obviously we’re not anywhere near high school football season right now, but plenty of people of dreaming for the moment toe hits leather once again this fall. As other sports take center stage all over the country, we’re going to begin a high school football stadium series and rank the Top 5 venues in every state. We continue with our rankings and head to the Southeast region over in the Yellowhammer State as we rank the Top 5 Alabama high school football stadiums: 1.
Wildcat Stadium, Enterprise Topping the ranks when it comes to Alabama high school football stadiums is that of the Enterprise Wildcats’ stadium, which features a home-side seating capacity of around 4,750 spectators for home games. Along with the stadium, Enterprise is also adding a state-of-the-art multi-purpose facility, which will include a 100-yard indoor practice field, weight room, and new LED lighting for the stadium. Also known as Bill Bacon Field, the field surface is that of artificial turf, providing an elite feel for any visiting team.
With its high-quality, modern look along with top of the line amenities, it should be no wonder that Wildcat Stadium tops this list. 2. The Hoover Met, Hoover There’s no stadium that gives off big game vibes quite like that of the Hoover Met, home of the Alabama 13-time state champions.
The Hoover Metropolitan Stadium doubles up as the home to the SEC Baseball Tournament annually along with serving as the Buccaneers’ primary venue during the fall. Located in the suburbs of Birmingham, it was once the home of the minor league baseball team, Birmingham Barons, of the Southern League from 1988 to 2012. Featured on the MTV show ‘ Two-A-Days ‘ back in 2005-2006, the Hoover Met is as memorable of a venue as any in the state of Alabama.
3. Larry Simmons Stadium, Thompson Formerly known as Warrior Stadium, Larry Simmons Stadium, sits on a 58,000-square-foot athletic complex that also includes the field and a 30,000-square-foot indoor practice facility as well. The stadium also features a 3,000-square-foot press box and can seat 5,293 spectators on any given Friday night whenever Thompson is facing an in-state or out-of-state foe.
