This isn't the place to go see a ballgame if a hip replacement is in your near future. I have pitch gage app on my phone and I'm going to start seeing who has the steepest steps around.

Same stadium as it was when the current building opened in 1971.  

Same for Central.  

The last two remaining original football stadium structures at their current locations in the Knox County system, I am pretty sure.  The rest have all been replaced by the aluminum bleacher type structures with press boxes that more resemble a port a potty than a working press box.

Central and Bearden's stadiums have lasted this long because they have taken care of the place. I personally don't like the aluminum bleachers because of the heat they attract. I always wondered why Powell got rid of their concrete stadium which was built in the early 60's. I never saw anything wrong with it.

Powell had no choice. It had major structural issues. 

But for Powell it was a good thing. They were able to add visitor side bleachers and increase seating capacity by about 35% overall with the new structures.

    • Never said I thought it was a smart decision. I'm scratching my head at it too.
    • If he wanted to play QB he should have either went to Heritage or William Blount and had a real good chance there. In stead he'll be exactly what he was going to be at Maryville. They already know who their QB is going to be in 2025 and it ain't going to be him.
    • Easier said than done. The man who ran for 250+ yards and 3TDs is gonna be back….and a lot bigger.
    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.
