fantastic. I put this field and its surrounding area up there with the best in IL.

Geneva's QB is going to be a name to watch.

Completely agree. Great atmosphere and facilities to watch a high school football game. And I got to hang with JCHILL and captbill for a while

Have the upgraded something recently? Loved the atmosphere there 3 years ago for a Batavia-Geneva game, but the facilities themselves were just average in my opinion

I was impressed with the facilities. However, JCA fans are not used to road venues with that amount of visitor seating or concessions and permanent restrooms (not porta-potties) on the visitor side. This is probably more common for suburban 7A/8A venues.

I have to give props to the JCA student section. Was pleasantly surprised at the number of students at the game. It may speak to the popularity of Jaws inside the JCA building. Joliet to Geneva on a Friday night is not a short or easy trip.

Thanks for the kind words Topper. Too bad our boys didn't wake up until it was too late.

Hopefully Lovie puts call into your DE sometime soon. Like the crowd in the press box was saying, "#99 is a flat-out man."

I really did enjoy the atmosphere at Geneva. All it was missing was the smell of burning leaves and some cold crisp air. My only complaint is the speakers on the visitors side are hard to hear. But the facilities where nice parking was easy. People where super friendly. I'd say this I think JCA will be better off for this game. This is a great lesson early in the season to learn. When you have a team on the ropes finish them off. My hats off to the coaching staff and the players in Geneva. Not easy to keep fighting when your down 27 in the fourth quater. Great job from them playing hard.

Well, it didn't help matters much when the brand-spankin-new speaker system starting sounding like a distorted Buddy Rich was playing on the press box roof before crapping out altogether.

Well said.
It was also pleasant to be treated like a guest at the ticket booth and concession stand.
That we were not yelled at when trying to park also made for an enjoyable evening.
