mavfanpanamacity Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Drove by Diana HS football field this am and saw them tearing out the grass and getting it ready for turf. Much needed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horns85 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Was hoping you was gonna say they were making it more visitor parking friendly and fix seating issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Boo. Football is supposed to be played on grass. Only 2 grass fields in 15-5A (Texas High and Sulphur Springs).... the other 6 all have turf. Only 1 grass field in 16-5A (Jacksonville)... the other 7 have turf. So just in 5A in East Texas..... 13 turf fields and 3 grass. That pretty much sums it up for grass. I don't think there are many grass fields in East Texas 4A either.

I don't think there are many grass fields in East Texas 4A either. I can think of 6 4As that have grass, but I'm sure there are more. I can name a dozen 4As with turf without thinking hard.

mavfanpanamacity Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Was hoping you was gonna say they were making it more visitor parking friendly and fix seating issue I think some things like that are in the works, visitor stands, etc. I don't know all the details..

yourteamstinks Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Yup! Gonna be nice! Many more fields around East Texas are about to get new surfaces also. Some that already have turf are getting the next generation . And As if Allens facilities aren't already nice enough , just give it about 3 months . I think some things like that are in the works, visitor stands, etc. I don't know all the details.. You would be correct sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
