Gene Cox Stadium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gene Cox Stadium a municipal American football venue for local teams in Tallahassee, Florida, USA. The stadium seats approx. 5,000 fans, and has a grass field. Originally called Capital Stadium, the name was changed to honor former Leon High School football coach Gene Cox.
Today, the stadium is home to all Leon County middle school football games and most home games for the local high schools, including: Chiles High School, Godby High School, Leon High School, Lincoln High School, and Rickards High School. However, Chiles High School and Leon High School also play nondistrict games at their school stadiums.
Although the stadium is officially a neutral site for all Tallahassee high schools, the field has been occasionally painted by the county during the postseason to support area teams in the playoffs. In addition to serving Leon County (Florida) public schools, Gene Cox Stadium also hosts several other annual events, such as the regional high school marching band tournament and fall training for the Tallahassee Titans American Indoor Football Association franchise.
