Best view on and off the field
According to the ESPN Rise Web site, Stadium High School's Stadium Bowl was named the Best View On and Off the Field. Here's what they had to say:
Stadium Bowl (Tacoma, Wash.)
Seating capacity: 15,000
Home schools: Stadium (Tacoma, Wash.); Wilson (Tacoma, Wash.)
Why It’s Great: For beauty, it’s tough to beat this venue as fans sit with a breathtaking view of the Puget Sound in front of them. The stadium itself sits below Stadium High School in Tacoma. This year marks the stadium’s centennial.
“I think what makes it spectacular are the bay and the ships. … When the sun sets over the Olympic mountains and they’re framed in orange. The water is orange and black.” – Jim Catalinach, graduate, former football player and athletic director, Stadium High School.
