Ranking the top 5 West Virginia high school football stadiums
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 Mountain State as we rank the Top 5 West Virginia high school football stadiums: 1.
Pony Lewis Field, Morgantown We’ve heard the people out when it comes to the top high school football stadium in the state of West Virginia and it’s hands down Morgantown High School’s home digs. When looking at the field from an aerial view, it’s one of the most beautiful stadiums and even that much better to catch a high school football game at. Smack dab in the middle as the centerpiece of the horseshoe-shaped campus, Pony Lewis Field is a must see for any fan in the Mountain State and you’ll probably want to see a Morgantown-Martinsburg game to get the best experience at the facility.
2. Wheeling Island Stadium, Wheeling Park The near 15-minute drive that the Wheeling Park High School football team takes to go the over seven miles to reach their home stadium is worth the drive and then some. Wheeling Island Stadium sits on Wheeling Island, bordering the state of West Virginia and Ohio, provides a breathtaking view along the Ohio River.
For nearly a decade, the stadium served as the host site of the WVSSAC high school football state championships. With a seating capacity of over 12,000 fans, this venue combines the uniqueness of the views, plenty of seating and oh yeah, some good Friday night action. 3.
Cardinal Stadium, Spring Mills One of the newer stadiums when looking at this list in its entirety, Springs Mills’ Cardinal Stadium checks in at the third spot for more than just the looks of the facility. Something else that should always be taken into consideration is the vibes on game day and that’s something this one offers. With over 9,000 screaming fans attending the venue on any given Friday night, the stadium is certainly the talk of the town heading into the weekend in the fall.
