Tough place to play, but it is a nice-looking venue.

I like the way that the mountain is cut out to fit the stands in.
I will come back to El Paso for another game. Great people, Great fans, nice stadium. CLEAN city :mrgreen:

Oddly enough though, I prefer El Paso High's stadium in terms of great places to play. Saw my Jesuit Rangers beat El Paso Cathedral in that stadium my senior year in high school. That stadium (built in the 20s or some such, carved out of a mountain over looking the city, with El Paso High looming over it) has to be the coolest high school stadium I have ever been in.

Yep! Got a friend who played football for El Paso High.... their punishment was always "face J-town" which meant they would have to hang from the goal posts and face Juarez... that way all the kids leaving could see them hanging there. And by hanging I mean by there arms, holding tight (with their hands) to the cross bar.
