Re: The future of grass fields

It looks like Ferndale doesn't have lights either. Nope. Johnstown is an interesting city. Inside most of the city, is "Greater Johnstown". The school is on the southside of the city. Ferndale is just east/southeast of the high school. Stadium is also right on the river. To the west GJ, u...

Re: The future of grass fields

From my understanding, if schools set aside the same amount of money they spend for maintaining the field (labor, fuel, gas, mower maintenance, fertilizer, seed, water, paint, etc) they can easily afford the replacement of turf after its 10 year life. The major issue is the initial investment, but ...

Ferndale Yellow Jackets (PA) hosting Purchase Line Red Dragons (PA) at Ferndale Stadium in Ferndale. (Week 10 this past year). You don't see games like this that much anymore.

2018 Year in Review

Last season, I attended 118 high school varsity football games in 11 different states. 220 different teams in 59 different stadiums. 36 state championship games in Ne...

Re: My 2017 Final list of teams seen in person(A NEW HIGH)

Wow, and too cheap to pay $15 bucks for great games. Because if you believe that WV or KY football is on par, you are sorority mistaken. For a state with all games at one site, Ohio has the highest per game ticket price in the entire country. The next closest? Surprisingly, South Dakota, who charge...

Good reads.

Do a lot of work without a statistician or spotter to help.

Re: Reasons you won't attend the state finals? Update: Prices included

I won't be going. And the venue or price isn't the issue. The 10am, 3pm, and 8pm start times on Friday and Saturday just make it a royal pain to make all seven. If it was just me going, I could probably manage and be happy. But, wife and kid? Sorry. That last game takes 3 hours and that's 13 hours f...

Re: Friday only playoff games

Dude that's some serious mileage and a lot of watching high school ball, WOW. Didn't realize the amount of double, triple or quadruple headers one could catch during the season like that without it being playoff time. Most of those I'm guessing are large schools being at that many games in that man...

How do you go to 127 HS football games in 1 year?? Trying to work the math here and football is played same time of year for everyone maybe start a week earlier a week later, etc. Assuming there's a game on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, the math doesn't add up. Do you leave games after the 1st quarte...
