Hey PR, the Boys Mom Fan club line forms behind me, pal.

Oh man. I finally get a fan club and I'm too old and decrepit to enjoy it. Rats.
The last game in the real Dornblaser Stadium was in 1967. Shame on them for using the name on the temporary facility on South Ave.Da Boyz Mom said:Spanky2 said:Good to see that there are still several old timers who attended games in old Dornblaser Field.
I have no memory of seeing the Griz play there, but I'm pretty sure I was there at least once while I was in high school. Sentinel was playing in some big game, although I wasn't there to watch the game itself. I was in the concession stand selling stuff to earn money for some club I was in. Since I wasn't really into football at the time, I don't have a very good memory of what the occasion was. I'm thinking it had to be the 1984 Sentinel vs. CMR class AA championship game. Would that game have been played at Dornblaser or am I getting senile?

Dornblaser hosted the state Interscholastic track meet for many years. The cinder track was excellent and fast.

Agreed, Kem. That gets confusing as hell...”Old” Dornblaser. “New” Dornblazer....I can’t imagine how shitty OLD Dornblaser was to have NEW Dornblaser be considered an upgrade....

PlayerRep said:I attended a few games at old Dornblaser in the 50's. My dad had played for the Griz in the 30s, after transferring from BYU. How a Sioux Indian/Irish Catholic got to BYU from the Fort Peck Reservation, I don't know. He died when I was 10. His older sister also went to UM in the 30's. Was a school teacher in Noxon during WW II. She and her husband started the Ranch Supper Club on the river in Polson in 1948, after my uncle recovered from shrapnel wounds from the Pacific. My uncle's best friend in Polson was Betch's uncle. My uncle and our family also knew Betch's dad, Curley. He was a terrific race boat racer, and better than his brother Ray. Betch's cousin, Karen, was my first "girlfriend". We used to exchange valentines starting before we were in grade school.
Good idea for a thread, Dillon.
The original Dornblaser had a great setting and was far superior to the temporary South Ave. facility; it was just very dated after years of no upkeep. It had hosted PAC and Skyline conf. games for many years. It was removed, not for an upgrade, but to reassign its property for higher priority facilities. Football had very little priority in the 60's and was essentially squeezed out. Moving football off campus was just the opposite of an upgrade.AZGrizFan said:kemajic said:The last game in the real Dornblaser Stadium was in 1967.
