Boardman is the logical

Very true but you will get 3,000 if it is in Boardman, maybe 1,000 if it is in Trumbull County.South ranges whole entire town will show up for them, that won’t be the case for Canfield.
I might drive down from the Cleveland area (Lake County) to attend, it seems like a good game to go to. That or stay up in the Cleveland area to attend Mentor vs. Medina.Well it’s in Niles
Are you serious?Chardon is playing at Boardman
Why the change in stance from a few years ago when they hosted Ursuline vs Steubenville?Boardman refused to host Ursuline for obvious reasons whether you think it's petty or not. Same goes for Mooney..
Are you serious?
Just can't believe they can't find a location for those 2 teams out that way somewhere.Yup lol
How are they even eligible to host a game between those 2 teams? It turns what would be a 10-15 minute drive for each team into an hour-plus trip that isn't even close to either fanbase. This seems ridiculously petty by Boardman. Not only are they losing money, but it is a huge black eye for them locally. If what Spartan0505 is saying is true, I would stay as far away from all 4 of those teams in future scheduling as possible. They would probably like to earn their "blackballed" status the exciting way.Hard to say but things have gotten worse between them since Reardon came back. It's very telling that Boardman is hosting Kenston vs Chardon instead of the 2 biggest local games in the area...
Here is the reality, if you host Canfield vs Ursuline, you probably get about 6,000-8,000 fans, if you host Chardon vs Kenston you probably get about half that at best. You don't have to be very good at math to figure out you would make twice as much money. Canfield has no problem hosting an area parochial (they have JFK vs Southern on Saturday).Let's be real if you're a propsective Boardman parent why would you even want your kids to go there right now as compared to Ursuline? I know what I'd do if I were in that position right now...
If schools can charge for parking and get most of ther concessions not sure why you'd turn that $$ down.
Thing is Reardon, and Dota both worked together as assistants at Warren Harding, under McDaniels.Hard to say but things have gotten worse between them since Reardon came back. It's very telling that Boardman is hosting Kenston vs Chardon instead of the 2 biggest local games in the area...
Canfield actually plays parochials in the regular season they have played Lake Catholic, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin, and St. Thomas recently and formerly played JFK until the early 90s I think.Canfield has no problem hosting the parochial but won't play them.
Doesn't matter where game is ursuline wins.
I sympathize for those that have long drives I have been in that boat before when we played Columbus area schools in Columbus, but there was no reason to take this game or Mooney vs South Range up to Trumbull County. It is not like there wasn't a better venue to choose from...What a Bunch of whiners ! Driving to Niles, is what, 30 minutes. Look at all,of the other neutral site matchups. Steubenville is driving 1:45 to Zanesville, and I am sure without looking that this is not the longest drive this weekend.
If all your worried about is football, maybe that’s the case. 99% of parents and kids aren’t selecting a school based on recent football success though. Boardman’s equal or better in just about every other sport currently and historically, arts aren’t even debatable, and academics are better with more options.Let's be real if you're a propsective Boardman parent why would you even want your kids to go there right now as compared to Ursuline?

I know a kid who is a QB who will be a Freshmen next year who lives in Boardman school district, however he is going to Ursuline.I think people overestimate what schools make for hosting. You can only get 25% cut of 50/50, parking capped at $2, and concessions (at least at boardman are outsourced so it’s a minimal cut. You get nothing from ticket sales other than covering your cost. Maybe you make a few thousand for a good deal of extra work/volunteers neneeded.
They are calling for a 50% chance for rain on Friday night. Canfield has a few kids out due to injury, I think Cocoa a LB for Canfield is out for the season. The key matchups will be Lowry vs the Ursuline DL and LBs, and if Ursuline has to walk up their SS/DBs to help in run defense then it will open up the passing game. Ursuline will have to look out for the play action pass, sneaking a TE in the middle of the field. Canfield will have to be careful on defense, to not have any blown coverages, to not over pursue, and to not miss tackles.Can anyone comment on the teams, weather, matchups, injuries, etc? Enough with the location please lol
There would be lucky to 4,500-5,000 fans let alone that many cars. 1,500 cars maybe in that case = $3k. Crowds just aren’t what they were. Boardman has hosted several good playoff matchups since the new stadium opened and I’ve never seen it even 75% full which for a 7,500 seat stadium is 5,500-6,000 at most.I know a kid who is a QB who will be a Freshmen next year who lives in Boardman school district, however he is going to Ursuline.
As far as money goes if you figure $2 a car times 4000 cars that is $8,000 right there if you get a good turnout.
I think the Big Red vs Hubbard playoff game was over 75% capacityThere would be lucky to 4,500-5,000 fans let alone that many cars. 1,500 cars maybe in that case = $3k.

Ursuline and Mooney both have way, way smaller fan bases than they did. If you get 2,000 from them that’s a great turnout.
