I agree there are positives going on around the program. And im all for leaving the stadium where its at. Just has a good feel to it being in the same spot for over 100 years. Keep adding nice amenities to it every off season helps. The moving of the field and re-leveling the whole field and endzones is nice as well. The playing surface is kept very nice, and I wonder if they will eventually consider turf since it gets a lot of games played on it in the fall. Turf would be possible once the endzone is leveled. Home bleachers will probably stay as is. Correct?

Yes no plans for the home side.  I believe the visitor side will have a wrap around it and there are plans for an elevated stair step feature like what they have at Liberty Creek but not sure where that will go.  There has been off and on talk about turf but finding corporate sponsors is the issue.  Watson wanted turf but I believe he relented since the stadium is not on campus.  I have not heard what Stroup would like to do in the long term. I would think he would like the turf seeing how USJ had it.   But you are right, over 100 years of history on that field and it had been neglected for a long time.  Hopefully things will continue to get improvements.  I know there was also talk about a Titan-Tron at one time too.  Getting the corporate sponsors is the key.  They are working on getting some.  Gallatin is definitely moving forward!!  It is an exciting time.  Things are changing with Michael Stroup and the administration’s way of doing things.  You know it is a good sign when other coaching staffs are not happy about the Stroup hire!

you or Greenwaver run that website?

Just an unbiased website clearly. Sure maybe there are newer and nicer. But there is more to a stadium than just new stuff. Not to compare it to another green and gold team, but The Packers old "Lambeau Field" is known as one of the coolest stadiums in the NFL and considered one of the top 2 or 3 places to watch a game. Is it as new or "nice" as some of the others? No. But doesn't matter.

Seating capacity  is second to none in Sumner county ! Visitor side seats more than most stadiums !

    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover. 
    • That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.  
    • Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
