I just moved to BR and noticed the memorial football stadium. It kind of looks abandoned. Do people still use it?

Capitol High used to play their home games there…I’m guessing they still do?

And yeah…it has looked like that for forever

Speaking of Memorial, why hasn’t Catholic built their own stadium? I’m sure they have the money to do that.

Memorial host HS every Friday night, and youth football every Saturday and Sunday. Then says locked up until the next Friday.

Olympia Stadium is better.

Never saw a game at Memorial. It looked old from the freeway, but I assumed it was dated. What’s so bad about it?

Unless Catholic is playing, the place pretty much IS abandoned. Captitol, Mentorship, Madison Prep, and a few other schools play there and draw almost no crowd.

Is it Olympia or Memorial that had the stone wall only a few feet from the back of the endzone? I remember as a kid going to an EA game somewhere in BR and someone ran smack into it going full speed trying to catch a TD. Knocked himself the frick out.
