Stille Stadium is a Tennis Baseball/ Wiffle Ball field in our backyard!
(Est. ‘08) M.L.T.B.
Want to learn how we made some of the features of Stille Stadium? See Below!
The Green Monster took about 3-4 days. It is framed with PVC piping and the front is made of brown peg board. We chose peg board because it is pretty light and we had it laying around the house. Anyway, then we spray painted the peg board green and attached it to the PVC piping with black tie straps. At the top of the Monster we slid a peace of Green fencing witch really finished it off! Then comes the foul pole; this was made out of a small piece of PVC piping wrapped in yellow duct tape. The foul pole slides into a open spot on the top of the Monster. Then to continue the foul pole down the Monster we used wide duct tape. Then comes the letter. The letters are 3″ sticker decals which worked great. Then we custom made changing score board numbers for our Monster. We picked up some hooks that fit right in the peg board holes perfectly. Next was the accesseries. Using electrical tape we made a black ladder just like on the real one. Then we took an Under Armour logo off a shoe box and taped that to the fencing on the top of the Green Monster. Above that is an American flag. And the Coke bottle to finish it all off!
The final size was about 8 ft. wide by about 5 ft. high
A total of: About $25.00
In our “Stadium” we also have a”Hit It Here” Sign! If someone hits it, it doubles and run that they would get on that home run. (Exp. 2-Run Home Run=Grand Slam) The “Hit It Here” Sign was very easy to make. We took a red saucer sled and a big black marked and wrote “Hit It Here- 93 ft.” on it. then using a rubber strap we hooked it to a branch beyond the home run fence.
A total of: $0.00
We also have four home made bases which are very helpful. There made of heavy duty fabric and filled with bean.
A total of: $0.00
In Stille Stadium we have a home made Under Armour flag which is made out of a Under Armour Back Pack Yoga Mat. Then we cut it out and stitched the sides and stapled it to a wooden dowel.
A Total of $0.00

Eye Of The Tiger Lyrics
Risin’up back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
(Chorus)
It’s the Eye of the Tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all
with the Eye of the Tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds until we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
(Repeat Chorus)
Risin’up straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It’s the Eye of the Tiger
It’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watching us all
with the Eye of the Tiger
The Eye of the Tiger
The Eye of the Tiger
The Eye of the Tiger
The Eye of the Tiger
