The thing that looks like a football field although without grandstands or goalposts and is surrounded by a track.
― beachville, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 12:40 (twelve years ago) link
okay, wait, I opened that up in a new tab and the yellow thing is a small grandstand
― beachville, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 12:42 (twelve years ago) link
That was used for track (obviously), soccer practices/games, and possibly football practice. But the actual football games were played on a separate field in the next block, with grandstands on both sides.
(and apparently, D-40 and I went to the same high school!)

My HS was tiny. Here's a Google Maps pic of my school, w/features labeled. This held about 500 students total (my graduating class was 120). Note, no football field, despite us having a surprisingly competitive team.

And here is the crazy K-12 campus they built three years after I graduated, when they were flush with property taxes from the nearby nuclear power plant, taxes that had been abated for the previous 15 years. For reference, the school shown above is at the lower right in this picture.
Also, LOL street names:

my high school is now a middle school (and has an Olympic-sized pool, lol)

do they keep the middle school in the Olympic-sized pool?
― dayo, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
lol
there's an entire athletic wing with the pool and a bazillion basketball courts, next to the 300 seat auditorium
most of the classrooms are in a square with an open courtyard (I think there were 3 floors? someone else remind me) with the industrial/agricultural arts wing in a separate building off to the side past the cafeteria

nice to see that in 2012, 42 members of socially progressive message board ILX find a racist, flagrantly offensive and stereotypical asian character written by a white guy from a rich chicago suburb to be 'funny'

It's interesting, dayo. I had actually composed a huge response to you talking about frogs on some other thread this weekend, but my shitty new cellphone wouldn't post it. I tried like three or four times, to no avail. My whole thought was a solid paragraph long, but the gist was "okay, he's an ass, but I honestly think he's trying to engage in discourse with us."
I no longer believe this!
