"Anybody that didn't play for Nebraska Stadium"
Kurt played for Regis which is a Catholic school and had their own field. Kingston Stadium is located on Kurt Warner Drive though...
I was a part of the last high school game played there on real grass in 1997. Muscatine vs. Davenport Assumption in the state playoffs. By the end of the season the grass was barely there between the hash marks. Then it had rained non-stop all day before the game that night, and continued through the game while also being in the 40s temperature wise. We couldn’t get our high-powered passing game going in the rain because the ball was covered in mud by the time the QB received the hike and on the other side Assumption’s triple option didn’t care that much about the mud. By the end of the game you basically couldn’t tell who was playing for which team aside from looking at their helmets because the uniforms were all coated in brown mud. Absolutely disgusting.
Following that game there was a pretty big stink about the condition of the field which led to them putting in turf before the 1998 season.
And I still couldn't catch Tavian Banks lol. My football claim to fame is that I came really close to stopping him from getting to the edge once from my DE spot.
You had four HS football varsity teams playing at Brady back then, plus the JV and Freshman teams. Even if the teams alternated home and away, you had at a minimum of six games a week. Yeah, it got beat up.
I wish they still got the crowds there like they did back in the 70's and 80's. 10,000 people for a game and people would also park RV's and buses around the stadium and watch from on top of those.

St. Ambrose also used it for their home field. Too many games on one patch of grass back in the day.
