To each their own, I’d rather have our kids be pos on a online fourm then out there Robbing people killing people going on high speed chases with the state police, obviously 🙄 the curriculum is taught different in SOWGA now can I have my stadium thread back or do you wanna keep badgering with that private curriculum agenda thanks 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public schools in N Jersey are overall fine, with more affluent areas doing very well. Growing up in N Jersey, I never really got the private school angle as even the sports teams were competitive and kids didn’t flock to private schools. Much has changed since the 70’s-80’s. The majority of N Jersey quality athletes will be poached by a private school. I recall a recruit from my hometown a few years back was attending a private school.

MA Fan Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Most of the old concrete stadiums in MA (many built by the WPA in the 1930's) have been torn down or renovated beyond recognition at this point, but there are still a couple cool ones: Lawrence Veterans Memorial Stadium still has the huge stand on one side: Hull, surrounded on three sides by water, guessing the wind is a factor here: RIP the old decrepit Manning Bowl in Lynn. The Rolling Stones played their first US concert there. @Adam Kurkjianwould be the one to tell you which stadiums are actually good for watching a game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA Fan Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 The Handley Bowl in Winchester, VA is nothing special as a stadium, but the school building at one of the end zones is outstanding: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
