How many stadiums have the new aritfical turf (they may call it field turf)? I was told that MBA was going to put it in after their season but I don't know if that is true. I do know that teams in PA, TX and CA are going to it over natural grass. It only makes since when you have varsity football, jv football, freshmen football, mens & womens soccer, and mens & womens lax all using the same field.

 

I heard a coach say it cost $500,000 to put in and is guaranteed to last 10 yrs. During the same 10 yrs, a normal field cost $450,000 to maintain.

I like AE's stadium. Yep, it's older, but where else are you gonna find not one not two but three REAL concession stands, TWO of which make the best chicken wangs you'll ever eat at a high school game. Their track looks like it's brand new, The scoreboard is in good shape and the field is emmaculate.

 

It probably only hols 3000 or so, but I was impressed for a 3A, inner city school.

This may sound crazy but I like the fell of the smaller stadiums such as Clinton's. I just thank those smaller stadiums make you fell like your close to the action.

 

Big stadiums like Blakenship can feel empty when you are playing a lesser opponent who doen't have a great fan base. But when it is packed you can't beat it.

    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.  
    • Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.
    • If Heritage moves down and Alcoa moves up the best thing for Heritage is to do what William Blount did when theystopped playing Maryville or meet certain defeat. Honestly can't see Alcoa not moving up the way the county is growing. Might be in the Mountaineers best interest to stay in 5A because none of those teams on their schedule are anything close to Alcoa.
    • I say over as well. Barney, regarding the move to 4A, will the cross-town blowhards move up as well??
