Congrats to Aurora for becoming SLA Champs!

So now that the season is over for 6 out of the 7, there is one question that I wanted to ask. How would you rate the stadiums in the SLA?
1. Barberton - best because it doesn't have a track.
2. Revere
3. Copley
4. Aurora
5. Kent Roosevelt
6. Tallmadge
6. Highland
Every stadium in the league is very good. Highland and Tallmadge are at the bottom due to their distance from the field. Having an 8 lane track, a walkway in front of the stands, and two entrance walkways. It is WAY too far from the field. What made Highland a little worse than Tallmadge is the sight-lines. It is tough to see the action on the near side of the field unless you are all the way up the stands. What made Tallmadge a little worse is the tiny away stands.
My #1 feature is distance to the field. It's why Wadsworth is my favorite overall stadium. Highland did a great job with the exception of the placement of the stands. They should have looked at how Revere did it. Bring the stands right up against the fence. Those extra 30-40 feet make a difference. Especially with those stands that have multiple walk ways in the front.
Just looked on a measuring map. At Barberton, you are 30 feet from the out of bounds line in the closest seat. At Highland, you are 84 feet from the out of bounds line.
I would easily put Revere at the bottom of the list due to the incredibly poor lighting.So now that the season is over for 6 out of the 7, there is one question that I wanted to ask. How would you rate the stadiums in the SLA?

I noticed that at the JV game Saturday. Wow, the wind was blowing the right way.Agreed about the lighting at Revere. Definitely the weakest lighting of all the stadiums. Copley has the unfortunate odor problem on the visitor side. Not too bad when you are in the middle of the crowd but when you are sitting on the edge of the stands and the wind is blowing that way, it can be tough.

Played a few rainy games there. Any time there is wind, rain or even a muggy/foggy night it is QUITE the home field advantage.I noticed that at the JV game Saturday. Wow, the wind was blowing the right way.

Anyone have access to the overall league standings? I know at one point in the past there was a website that had them.
It is frustrating how little information is out there about standings for the various sports. The only thing that is easy to find is how each team did in the state tournament.
