My first High School game ever was at Putnam back in 1998, it was a 14-19 loss to the Tomcats. This year my son started to learn the game of football in the Kindergarten JFL league at Putnam. This stadium has always held a special place in my heart, even before I was an "Ashlander." I hope the new stadium (I agree with others it isn't a restoration, it is the building of a new stadium in the same place) is able to provide the memories for my son growing up that the current Putnam Stadium did for the last 75 years.

Also, I kinda think its been the players, coaches, community support and the city that has made Putnam so great over the years, and not so much the structure itself... anywhere the Tomcats call home is going to have an intimidation factor for other teams.
