    In Municipal Stadium it was fun to sit on the wooden benches of the Dog Pounds and watch the fights breakout, then go pee in the troughs/sinks/whatever.

    Right. The "Dawg Pound" was closed when the old stadium went away and the bleachers with it. Sorry, but that is now nothing but the "north end" of the stadium.

            By the way, this past Saturday I attended a football game at the only other stadium in the City of Cleveland that hosts a football team that plays above the high school level.

            As I have said elsewhere, my daughter is a cheerleader for the Trinity Univ. (of San Antonio TX) Tigers. The Tiger played a road game at Case Western Reserve Univ. saturday, and my wife and I went to the game to be surrogate cheerleaders for my daughter.

            The school does not take its cheerleaders on away games except for one against a school about 50 miles away.

            It is a nice little stadium they have there a CWRU. All metal benches, but what the heck.

            The wind was blustering though. It had to be steady at like 30 mph, and cold. It played hell with the kicks and passes.

            Trinity was leading most of the game, but I swear those boys from Texas could not take the cold for a whole game, as 4th quarter lapses on both offense and defense allowed CWRU come away with a 21-17 win.

            Here is an aerial view. The stands are part of a parking deck behind, but the field is otherwise surrounded by dorms that seem fairly new and nice.

                View of the Trinity Campus and Stadium in San Antone.

                Campus%20(aerial%20view),%20Trinity%20Un

                The football field on the upper right is called the Alamo Bowl (distinguish from the Alamodome) and is a high school football stadium. Though, honestly, I am not sure why it could not also serve as the Univ's field as well. Someone probably gave money to build the school its own, separate stadium.

                  Thanks for the advice. Any recs for a good bar/restaurant around the stadium to catch the morning games?

                    The CWRU stadium is a lot different than it was in my days there. We had metal benches... on the ground... not as part of some building.

                    One thing we did have though was a patch of that new fangled "Astroturf". We were the Browns in season practice facility once-upon-a-time. They installed it to primarily get used to kicking off of it.

                        Browns Stadium runs east/west. I just got that wrong. CWRU does run north/south.

                        The CWRU field was very nice. PAT I believe.
