On the field, Bobby (Corey Feldman) faces off with Dumas (Matt Adler), while the sidelined Dinger (Corey Haim) does his best disco moves.

This was a puzzler for me as New Hanover High School doesn’t have any fields around it, as it is in an urban setting surrounded by houses and buildings. But then I saw the *barbed wire* fence surrounding the field, not something a school would have, so it must have been a private field. Then I saw it, the odd but distinctive tall brick structure which I’ve long believed is used for fire training, and I knew exactly the location, it had to be Legion Stadium. Mystery solved!
