About 6,200 people live in Gilpin County. All students K-12 attend class i at this single complex along Route 119, north of Black Hawk. The complex is at 8,900 feet above sea level....
... taxes collected by the local gaming community enabled the school to install a field with artificial turf. (Note to larger schools: Eat your hearts out with envy.) As you can see, the scenery from this hilltop field isn't too shabby, either.
I grew up in the small western Pennsylvania steel town of Turtle Creek, Pa. This stadium, built nearly 100 years ago, has had many names through the years as the school district changed names. It was originally Lynnwood park, then Union High School field and later Turtle Creek Stadium (when I attended school there). Following a multi-district school merger in 1981, the Woodland Hills School District formed. The school upgraded the facility and renamed it the Wolvarena (home of the Wolverines). During the past few decades, Woodland Hills won several WPIAL (western Pennsylvania) championships in this stadium, which can hold about 10,000 people on a football Friday night.
