A sad day to watch the old stadium burn to the ground even if it was on purpose. Happy day to watch the old stadium burn down to make room for the new.
Our old stadium as been there at least since 1965 and the voters approved a new performing arts center, football field and stadium and a new track. Our track was so old it was cracked and unsafe to use and we had to haul 26 miles over to another town to run our track meets.
I took this photo the morning before the burn day at dawn.
The firefighters torch it off.
The South end was burning a lot better then the North end.
Once it started it kept getting hotter and hotter and burning faster and faster. I had to move clear across the football field because of the heat. It was really intense.
Nothing left but some steel beams and some cement. Goodbye stadium you served us well and many memories occurred here.
A goodbye shot.
