I'm excited until I look at the schedule and see that next week is a bye. At least in two weeks, we have another big game really the region championship.

Do a lot of teams have 9 game schedules now? Is that something that used to not be allowed, but the TSSAA is allowing now?

Seems that way now.

TC just couldn't find a 10th game that made sense.

Yeah, it's not a great place to watch a game as it is. More seating would help. I'm interested to see how the new turf is. I've heard it looks great.

New turf looks awesome.  Once things get finished up on the perimeter, it will be a really nice venue.

Need more visitors seats lol

Exactly the bleachers on the away side are away too small the seating needs a major upgrade.

A real major upgrade.

I highly doubt FCS spends the funds to upgrade the visitors seating. Look at their schedule and tell me which teams will bring a large crowd. TC is the only one. Privates generally don't have a large community supporting them and from games I've been too there outside of TC games, their seating is adequate. 

TC is very blessed with visitors seating but that has to do more with the Bowl Game that used to be held many years ago as well as large crowds at playoff games. i'd guess that TC may have the largest seating capacity in 1A and 2A and most of 3A in the state.

I know stadium upgrades for the Creekbank are on the horizon but i havent seen details. I do wonder if they will shrink the visitor's side to lower cost if the plan is to demo and rebuild?

All of the bleachers could use an upgrade. I'd much rather them spend money on the field though

Definately the case. Without the Tobacco Bowl and the hard work of Chester Davis and Gene McIlwain in the 50's Trousdale would not have the seating capacity we do today.

I heard that they were talking about cutting the seats by 25% on the away side. Also, fill in the gaps in the stands and add handicap access to both sides.
