The two times I have gone to a concert here it has been HORRIBLE to get into the building. Lines…read morearound the block!!!! You wait for an hour in a very slow moving line. It takes soooooo long to get into the venue, there is not time to get food, merch, or drinks. Then, if you are lucky enough to get in--you can't find your seat because the signage is so bad. The section and seat markings are not clear. How can this be?...1XX and 2XX are not marked. Complete mess!!!! The mismanagement at the entry and poor signage ruin what should be a fun night.

Hoyt Luithly Field is where the local High School (The Mighty Midgets of Estherville Lincoln…read moreCentral) plays football and hosts track events. It has also been used for Community gatherings such as welcoming our Troops home. The Stadium is named after Hoyt Luithly who was a local High School teacher and Coach. I never met the man, but his wife Ruth was one of my more memorable teachers. When you live in Small Town Iowa, the main thing to do on a Friday night is attend the High School Football game, either at the home stadium or down the road in Spirit Lake or Spencer, and always with a huge Booster Club of fellow students and parents. It's warm during the early games and cold when the season finally wraps up. In between is a huge social scene and relative mild community rivalries. My own experience here was as a fan, as a football player for one season (and that fumble that I almost snagged for a sure touchdown), and a shot putter on the track team. And of course there was teenage angst and a feeling that there was something bigger out there.

Very nice stadium. Probably one of the nicest high school/Community stadiums I've ever seen in MN…read more I did see that they have won over a hundred state championships, so they deserve it! Went to see the MN Vixens (women's tackle football) play a team from Wisconsin (Dragons). Of course the Vixens won. :) They have plenty of parking.
