Willowbrook parking, visitors stands, food, other pertinent info?
- Thread starter MC63
- Start date
School is off Ardmore about a half mile south of Roosevelt Rd. Not a real large parking lot and you have to walk from the lot along a path that runs along the south edge of the practice fields to the stadium. There is some parking just to the eastern edge of the practice fields too. The visitor stands are closest to the parking lot and run from between the 20 and 25 yard lines on each end. Standard high school concessions, nothing spectacular...It's been a long time since they've reached this stage...I'm sure it's going to be a hectic scene..
Yep...Montini is off Meyers Rd which is a mile west of Ardmore. Providence bank is on the NE corner of Ardmore and Roosevelt Rd, and there is a Mobile gas station on the SE corner..They built condos on Ardmore just before the Villa Park fire station. I don't recall them being there years ago..
Mike - thank you very much. I found it interesting that the school is close to Mt Carmel Cemetery (where Al Capone has a spot.) I don't know if that's a good omen or a bad one. We'll know Saturday about 3:45.
The older I get, the more precious a good parking spot gets.
You're welcome MC..That's right Mt Carmel Cemetery is about 10 minutes east of Villa off Roosevelt and Wolf Rd in Hillside. The Capone grave is not far off Roosevelt just past Wolf Rd...
If he'd bought a couple of chance-books, they'd have made him an honorary alum!
Is their a Villa Park High School in Willowbrook? Just curious.
...In January, 1958, the school board decided that the new school was to be called Willowbrook, referring to a nearby creek running through a stand of weeping willow trees...
A helluva lot better than York Township South.

Yes when I was there a few years back I was sporting a nice limp due to injury playing ball (but old too) and some staff member was very nice to offer me a ride up to the field. I declined but very nice gesture on their part.

How about for fat out of shape ex football players?
I’m surprised they didn’t call it Willow Creek.
