I won't be able to leave early from work and was thinking it might get to standing room only really quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dotot Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 The Area D YOE Band marching champion alone is gonna take 1 quarter to 1/3rd of those tiny stands..... Gotta invest in some longer stands Franklin!!! Sheesh!! Halfway kidding, but still....with all that money spent on baseball facilities....you would think Franklin visitors would have enough seats to watch a dang game without 60% having to stand..........Oh well, it's gonna be a damn good game come Friday weather permitting!!

THEHARDWAY Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I’m sure NFHS will have the game, but will their be a local outlet/school streaming it? Generally they have much better commentary and video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoe stands for visitors are not that big either lol and parking is horrible. As a matter of fact the capacity of both Cameron and Franklin is 3,671 for total seating.

With their style of offense, Franklin has to be loving the forecast. I wonder if Yoe are going to stay more on the ground? Its an hour and 35 minute drive and normally I would not want to stand in the rain all night and prefer to stay home, dry and stream on TV...... BUT I'm afraid I'll miss an Instant Classic. Time to put on the raincoat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron runs a total of 3 formations, all out of the gun. No tight ends, no heavy packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academy is awful and they need a major overhaul of all of their athletic facilities. The thing I personally don't like about Franklin is how the stands were built. Capacity is fine. You can be on the top row and not have much of a different viewing angle from someone on the bottom row. I personally feel like Madisonville did it exactly how it should be done. Crockett is also nice. I haven't been to Teague, but it also looks nice. Rockdale completely balked on their stadium design. Groesbeck has always been one of my favorite small school stadiums. Quirky and unique. Edited October 27, 2022 by Yoe09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time they don't fill up and you still want home field advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMat79 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I agree, Lorena did it right with the visitors stands. But they were also 4A at one time. McGregor thought they'd grow more being so close to Waco. I haven't been this excited about a game since we played Malakoff in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means we would have to double the stadium size to fit everyone in a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
