Friday Night Lights has NOTHIN' on PNG football.
this is my 4A high school stadium.
it seats 10,000 on the home side and 3,500 on the visitors side.
it's RealTurf...same as the NFL.
it has a live action scoreboard, a two tier pressbox, full concessions (with tv's so you don't miss the game) and more bathrooms than you could possibly know what to do with.
let me show you some other shots
there's a lot...

wide angle shot of the stadium
if you look in the background, especially the right side, you'll see just one of the refineries.
right by the high school.
L.A.'s smog is a joke.
in all her glory


sold out crowd

scoreboard...notice the 5 refineries who sponsored this...

the door our boys walk out of to play the 4 quarters of the best game alive.
left side says "THE RESERVATION, where only Indians come out alive."
Amen.
The run-through.
we are the indians.
we do wear headdresses.
our cheerleaders paint two of these every week.
they're a huge deal.
they unroll it face down and then stand it up for all of us to read.
and then the stand errupt in a roar.
i'm amazed week after week.
we have the best fans.
The Marching I.
It's a tradition.
all the orange lights you see over the visitors side are refineries.
for milesssss.
Our boys' lockers.
Solid oak.
Beautiful.
Larger shot of lockers.

See.
Sunset.
Over the Stadium.
Even Jesus loves PNG Football.

feel free to head on over there and check us out.
we went 11-0 last year, til we were knocked out in the second round of playoffs by Brenham, who went to the state championship game.
it was sad to come all that way UNDEFEATED after a 3-6 season the year before and then lose.
but we'll be back again next year. :)
my shot was taken on january 28
the rest were taken during the late summer/early fall 2009
