Stadiums visible from an interstate/highway?

Thought of a few others when I remembered my drives to Athens from Cincinnati. I go 71 > 35 > 50 > 32

35 you can see Unioto which, apologies to any Unioto folks, I always assumed was Chillicothe

On 50 if you look over your shoulder at the Valero, there's Southeastern

Impossible to miss Vinton County

Alexander is easy to spot from 32

I know the topic is football stadiums, but I always pick up Lehman Catholic's baseball field when heading down I75.

It's not easy to catch, but a keen eye will let you see Wynford and Bucyrus's stadiums on US 30 if you look at the right moment.

That's a quirk in itself. The schools are separated by fewer than two miles. I can attest you can see Wynford's stadium from Bucyrus's if you are standing at the top of the home bleachers.

I just happen to be bored tonight, so schools you can see from 2 lane or in city highways in NW Ohio:

Defiance, just off 66
Fairview is on 127
Edon, Edgerton, and Antwerp all visible from 49. Edon also 34
Front side of Paulding's stadium is visible on 127
Wayne Trace is on 127
Stryker is on 2
Holgate and Patrick Henry are both on 18
Archbold can just barely be seen from 66
Evergreen is just off 20A
Ottawa-Glandorf can be seen clearly on 15
Columbus Grove can be seen from 12
Liberty Center, along with 24 as mentioned, is right on 109


So many more we can mention if we go by this definition on from a highway.

About Findlay. The stadium next to 75 is a single bleacher side. I thought the HS played at another location. Yes, I always stretch my neck to check it out, lol.

They play at Donnell Stadium. If you can see Donnell(by Donnell Elementry) from any Highway, you need to work for the CIA! About as a residential of a Stadium you'll see. You're seeing a different stadium by the HS. Donnell is huge compared to that, and is probably 3 miles away on the South Side of the city.

Whew! What is the one by 75 used for? Track, middle school football?

Side bar. The Bluffton baseball/softball fields next to the 75 shoulder...do those belong to the HS? They got to be the closest thing to a major interstate of anything in the state, lol.
 
Not Ohio, but REALLY close. Woodlan High School in Indiana (within 5 miles of the border) is right off 24. You clearly see the school, stadium, AND water tower.
 
You can see Norwood from, get this, the Norwood Lateral
View attachment 78346

In a similar layout, if you are ever on OH 126/Ronald Reagan Highway or as locals call it "Cross County" you will see Sycamore Junior High's Stadium, which was at one time the varsity field. It is just west of the interchange with I-71.

If you zoomed out this photo a few clicks more, the highway would be just south of the "SYCAMORE" endzone.
