There are multi-million dollar high school football stadiums all over the country.
Trona (Calif.) doesn't have one of those but the Tornadoes likely do have the most unique playing surface found anywhere in the United States.
As seen in the video above, Trona plays on 100 yards of dirt. "Three yards and a cloud of dust" is reality here.
Located in a small mining town near the edge of Death Valley east of Bakersfield, Trona's field is known as "The Pit" and it's a definite home field advantage for the team also known as the Sandmen.
Trona (2-1) has won both home games this season and it's easy to see why looking at the playing surface, which actually gets watered
before games.
Trona is a small, desert community with a population of less than 2,000. From June through September, average daily temperatures are over 98 degrees.
