Jack Wood Stadium, on July 28, 2006

The Jack Wood Stadium is located at 401 Parkway Drive in Trussville and primarily serves as the home stadium for the athletic teams of the Trussville School System and as a venue for annual commencement exercises. It was constructed as part of the original high school, which is now Hewitt-Trussville Middle School. Originally called simply "Husky Stadium," it was renamed in 1998 in honor of long time Hewitt-Trussville High School head football coach Jack Wood.
