DealLawyer Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hate to see the visitor side reduced but I’m sure it was a cost issue. If rebuilt in current size, bid goes from 850 to 1 mil for example. Was nice to have for the big games but there aren’t many each season where the capacity is needed. Especially with jackets not winning the region the last three seasons so fewer home playoff games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The visitor side is set to be cut in half and will have approx 720 seats, the home side however will now be 18 rows high instead of the previous 16 rows, the new bleachers should benefit those disabled, with new ramps on each end of the bleachers, and hand rails up and down them. Demolition will begin May 22nd, the plan is to be ready to play ball on August 13 which is the Jamboree, the bid was placed just short of $856,000. However it does still need to be passed by county commission on Apr 26. The shortage in school costs due to COVID-19 helped push the board to accept the bid, I look forward to seeing the creekbank updated, and as always GO Jackets! Nearly a mil for the stadium, but you still pay your educators at the bottom of the state. Academics and band are the only thing winning anything up there and ya'll do your teachers like this?

Sidelinehustler Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 It was time to make some repairs for safety sake. Kudos to the leadership for making it financially as painless as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmycrackedthatcorn Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I stand along the fence so it doesn't matter to me but it looks nice to see the stadium packed on the home side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gate goes(suppose to) to the sports team not the school, and this is being paid for by the school not the football team. But who knows lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
