Shotwell Stadium is a stadium in Abilene, Texas. It was built in 1959,〔(Shotwell Stadium )〕 using Rice Stadium as a model.〔(GoFridayNight.com Champions Classic )〕 It was initially named the Public Schools Stadium. The first game played in the Stadium was in the fall of 1959. Shortly after the first season, the stadium was renamed Shotwell Stadium, after the late P.E. “Pete” Shotwell, a longtime football coach at Abilene High School.〔(AISD - Facilities )〕 ==Size and Uses== Shotwell Stadium is primarily used for American football and soccer. The stadium's two concrete grandstands each has a permanent seating capacity of 7,500 people in an all-bleacher configuration. Several semi-permanent metal bleacher structures are located behind the north end zone, allowing for overflow seating in excess of the facility's 15,000 permanent seats. There are also standing room-only areas at the corners of the stadium, raising total capacity to nearly 20,000. Shotwell Stadium is the home field of Abilene High School and Cooper High School. As of the 2012-2013 school year, both schools are classified as 5A, the largest high school classification in Texas. The Abilene High/Cooper High rivalry game is played here every year and always fills the stadium. The stadium is also home to (NCAA football ). The (Abilene Christian University ) Wildcats football team has called the stadium home for decades, and is currently a NCAA Division I (FCS) school. With the (Wildcat's move ) to the (Southland Conference ) in the fall of 2013, Shotwell officially became a NCAA Division I stadium. Shotwell was for many years the "informal" designated site for UIL's six-man football championships (as the majority of six-man schools are in West Texas) and in 2010 was designated as the formal site for the titles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shotwell Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
