Oklahoma City-area high school football stadium rankings: No. 3, Newcastle
Newcastle's new fieldhouse at Racer Stadium.
NEWCASTLE — We are up to No. 3 in our rankings of Oklahoma City-area high school football stadiums, and this is a stadium I’m quite familiar with.
I’ve seen lots of games in Racer Stadium, and it is certainly a unique place to watch a high school football contest.
The checkered endzones. The pregame pageantry with the race car.
I covered Newcastle football for a season for the Newcastle Pacer before coming to The Oklahoman in 2006. But when I went back on September 9 for the Tuttle-Newcastle game, it was like I was at a different stadium.
Newcastle has added artificial turf and state-of-the-art facilities. I was lucky enough to get a tour of their new two-story fieldhouse before the game, and it was very impressive. A fantastic weight room, nice new offices and even a room that can be rented out for parties by the community.
