Pop Keeney Stadium, Community stadium in Bothell, Washington
Pop Keeney Stadium is an outdoor stadium in Bothell, Washington, a suburb northeast of Seattle. It has a field and grandstands and hosts high school football games and graduation ceremonies for the Northshore School District's four traditional high schools: Bothell, Inglemoor, North Creek and Woodinville. Its replay-capable scoreboard was installed in 2009.
Pop Keeney Stadium is named after Harold "Pop" Keeney, Bothell's first football coach and a member of one of the town's pioneer families. In 2008 alumni began raising money for a replay-capable scoreboard; donations from around the country totalled $160,000, and it was installed in 2009 as only the second of its kind in the state. The Northshore 2010 Capital Projects Bond funded a renovation of the lighting, stands and other facilities.
