I would assume no since they’re Ohio kids and used to colder weather. If it was raining and windy then sure. Now if a southern team came up here and had to play in that cold it might hurt them bit but can’t imagine Fridays weather impacts the game at all.
With all due respect, I don't think you heard Nate accurately. I said something to the effect that he and his coaches must be proud that no fewer than 12 kids had received All-district recognition, including two co-players of the year.
The interview I listened to today cuts Moore off midsentence goes to commercial followed by minutes of dead air while discussing the topic. 82 says that wasn't his experience so it must have been an error on my side of things.
She likes to troll around quite a bit.
There's a good chance that the crowd tomorrow could be accommodated in several other stadiums in greater Columbus. So how does renting Crew help OHSAA?
Who knows. Maybe they cut a deal for no rent to keep all parking and concessions. Who knows why the OHSAA does what they do. There are a ton of Columbus suburban stadiums they could have used. And if they are paying rent, I’m sure it would be much higher cost than renting a local HS stadium. All that said it is a pretty nice football venue and really easy to get to, a block off Rt. 71 just north of downtown.
Isn't that the deal everywhere? Does OHSAA ever get parking and concessions?
Maybe. Let 'em go. By all accounts Crew is a good venue. It's grossly oversized given current and projected attendance, but then, so is Benson. OTOH, it (like Benson) supposedly has VIP and media facilities that the more right-sized (i.e. larger high school) venues don't.
No they don’t. But maybe they cut deal….. free rent for all parking and concessions. They are a sneaky non transparent bunch.
How much does Crew normally get from parking and concessions? Some of these large venues subcontract that stuff out, so they only get a piece of that pie. Granted, it's a bigger pie when you're charging $20 to park and $6 for a Coke, but still...
I would anticipate the Massillon/Anderson game drawing one of the biggest crowds this playoff season. There is opportunity for a lot of money to be made……. The sinful thing is those greedy pricks won’t share it with participating schools.
That (IMHO and trying not to be a homer) is one big reason to move the games back to Massillon or another HS venue. When the games are at Benson/Crew/whereever, concession, parking, etc. goes to some disinterested business. When they were at Massillon, some of the revenue (parking, concessions) stayed in house, while a lot of additional money was spread around to other schools (e.g. the Jackson culinary program did a bang-up job providing catering for the press/VIPs). Why give the money to Faceless, Inc. when it could be going to member schools?
The schools need to put forth a change to the rules to ensure tournament ticket and TV revenues are shared with schools.
And quit the neutral field nonsense.
As noted before, the current (non)payment structure gives hosts no incentive to even check tickets. Let 'em all in and sell them hot dogs. At least they'll make something on the back end.
Moeller-St.X playoff sold out in a day and they reported 12,000
They had 12,000 in a stadium that seats about 7500? They squeezed an extra 60% over capacity?
That is a great idea!...It would blow the OHSAA's mind... Sales of 2,000 tickets and 10,000 show up in the stands... Screw the greedy bastards....
Skinny fans.
DamnLet’s go tig
IMO : after watching 5 Anderson games : offensively this will be our biggest test . It’s our OC vs Anderson OC if that make sense . Anderson OC is a stud at calling plays . He sets the field up and gets the ball into playmakers hands. The OL will drive you off the ball . No pileups at the LOS . Huge running lanes for rb . Our dbs , special teams (punt) and OL need a great game . This gone be high scoring .
Enjoy Turk turk day !!
ps : watch number 8 for the bubble and hb screen . I may have said it already but don’t let that beat us on 3rd down . Dude is load to bring down once he at the second level . We can’t miss tackles .. tig

How many Tiger fans were at Hoover last week? Didn’t look like a sellout - did the weather, and television, keep people at home?
