You hate to see any school drop football or worse close.I have a soft spot for all of the schools who no longer have football due to various reasons.I am a HUGE fan of schools who were in the old Illini 8 & Sica Conferences.Anyways though it has been now 40 years since Joliet East closed the school is still there as a Job Corps.The rusting lights,some stands,scoreboard,goal posts & field still there.Well they are selling/have sold that property & they're going to tear all that down & make it industrial.I really hate it & I know it's sad & it's progress but still seeing the old field & stadium always brought a sad smile to my face just like seeing Pat Cronin Field gone & Kankakee Eastridge wasting away
