Alice's Memorial Stadium has been voted Texas's best natural grass stadium in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 by Texas Turfgrass Association. We are a town of only 19k yet our stadium seats 10.5k and has the only end zone seating in the Coastal Bend. During the playoffs if we are playing a home game in at least the 2nd round, bleachers get added from end zone to end zone on the bottom of the stadium on the home side and visitors side which pushes the seating capacity up another couple of thousand. We have a video scoreboard as well and the most loyal, devoted fans in all of the Coastal Bend. cue the jealous PLC fans who are gonna start crying about our restrooms... It's a piece of crap. IMO Alice's stadium is the neatest around here. It has more character along with ambience than these modern day throw up the metal bleachers and there you have it stadiums. The bathrooms are bad and that is it. You either love that train or hate it but it is pretty cool for the home team. As far as natural playing surface, only the Bluff's can rival it.

Alice stadium is a dump, and the announcer is horrible!! Plc stadium is not much, but we don't have an announcer that claims that he can see what inch line the ball is on.

Last season for grass at Hornet Stadium. Turf going in with all the bond upgrades before next season.

I get it. PLC and Alice don't like each other.
Seriously, is every thread going to be like this?

At least until they settle it on the field which most likely is not gonna happen this season. Hell, I've been thinking of ways to get the GP/Cal poop flyin' again!!! PM me if you've got any good ideas. For now though I guess we'll have to be good with the Alice/PLC spatting

Not many 4A Stadiums you can watch the action from a Highway. I actually witnessed Ray's go ahead score to beat PLC at PLC 3 or 4 years ago. It happened right as I was driving by.

We joke about all the people who go to church on Friday nights. You can also watch the game at the north end outside the fences. You are right about being able to see the game. But i have no memory of losing to Ray at home, might convenient i must say. Not saying it didn't happen, jus saying its easy to forget the bad ones and easy to remember the good ones.

PM me if you've got any good ideas. For now though I guess we'll have to be good with the Alice/PLC spatting Maybe coach Whit and Soza can schedule a non-distict game next year. We would probably have to travel to PLC both years, since Whit says he won't play in Alice again.

I think that game would help both teams improve for district and playoff play whether you win or lose the game!
