Evans Stadium is not exactly the best stadium out there. The parking is not all that great either. I've had more trouble parking at Russell than Raceland. I have never had trouble parking at Raceland. If you want a seat, come to the game earlier. The only reason Russell has a bigger stadium is because it is a bigger school. As far as the endzones with no corners that is just a petty argument and lame excuses for not wanting to travel. I think that it is great that they renewed the rivalry after 30some years of not playing. They should have been playing all along. It is great for the community. I would rather see Raceland play a good Russell team than someone from out of the area that is usually not that good.

It's not a petty argument. It was mostly sarcasm. But there is nothing in there that wasn't true.

Raceland's stadium, if that is what you want to call it, has the seating capacity of the visitors side alone at Russell.

There are no corners to the endzones. All four corners are cut off by a black top track. They throw some old AstroTurf over the black top to fill in the cornors. I never have understood how that is even allowed. It's sure not safe.

Neither is the fact that becaue there is no place to sit the Racelnd fans are almost on the field in the endzones with lawnchairs and blankets right up to the out of bounds line. Every game I have ever been to down there the officials are constantly having to move people back. Not that they listen.

If you never had trouble parking down there it is either because you live close and walk or you know somebody that lives close, park at their house and walk.

Henry R.Evans stadium is much bigger. Many more seats and more room to stand without being on the field. Now new restrooms and a new field house are needed at Russell. There is no doubt about that. But it is I e of the better and bigger high school stadiums in the area if not the best.
