San Saba High School’s football stadium, Rogan Field, might be the most haunted football stadium in the country.
Long before the Armadillos took the field there every Friday night, the plot of land where the stadium now sits used to serve as the town’s cemetery.
According to BigCountryHomepage.com, the plot of land was used to bury civil war soldiers and early settlers up until 1878. Owned by the Rogan family since 1856, the family donated the land to San Saba ISD in 1935.
That same year, the city began the process of removing all the bodies, monuments, tombs, grave markers, shrubs, and trees, but according to Ronnie Shulze, San Saba HS Football coach, some of these bodies were not removed due to not having family members to claim.
Coach Shulze said that the tombstones were bulldozed over, and the bodies were just left there.
Today, Rogan Field is known as “The Graveyard.”
Jake Lackey, San Saba resident, said, “Well, you can’t help it, kinda have that feeling, especially if your on the graveyard and on Halloween or Friday the 13th… Knowing that there’s actually remains of San Saba City citizens under us, were the only ones that can say we built our football stadium on a legitimate graveyard.”
