The seating or lack there of is not the biggest issue. The restroom situation in my mind is a bigger problem.
Salem @ JF game will be Saturday @ 7
- Thread starter mikesalem
- Start date
Plenty of shrubs and trees around
The headline of Sunday's paper would read "local HS football enthusiast beaten to death by pack of women with full bladders".
I emailed AD Pritchard and he confirmed the game at JF. With that said I think JF earned to host at home but the problem lays with the vhsl because they are forcing Essex in 1A to host at King George. Essex is similar to JF. So there is a double standard here... I'm sure if enough Salem folk call and complain something might change lol

I was going to make that point, why make Essex move there game ? Why have seating chart on the number you have to have to host ? Cow pasture or outback in the parking lot one One guy said . If I was Essex I would call VHSL and Challenge them .
VHSL has always favored certain schools. If Essex has to move game, then JF should have to move game. That's a no-brainer. Heck Salem Stadium would be a better venue for game. With Salem's record, I would think they have a right to host as much as anyone else. Heck, I believe they are undefeated.
Parade is first Fri in Dec every year no matter what. Has been that way for as long as I can recall. Other cities nearby have many of same floats in them and people can't store them for weeks to be in everyone's parade. I know most of Salem will be there as younger kids in families are in the parade. So people already committed to parade will go. That means less revenue for game. So if anyone wants to make money off Salem's fans, they'll have to decide if it is worth it to have an event on the day of the parade.
That makes sense. But I think parades should be after state championship game. that's the way Gretna did it back when we were winning.
whats wrong with city stadium in Lynchburg , new turf field, new score board, nice locker rooms, better bathroom facility and concession, plus seating capacity of 10,000 sounds pretty good to me, JF only what 15min from there. unless i am missing something. JF Sabre stadium I was there last week very inadequate for this game, and they should realize that and move it.
May be a stupid question, but rather be safe than sorry.....Is the game for sure Saturday night @7?
It's Sunday @1:00 at Panther stadium in Charlotte. They have plenty of bathrooms there.
Yes definitely Saturday @ 7. Also Sabre Stadium is the location, haven't seen anything saying otherwise. Everything is finalized Monday by the VHSL.
JF is undefeated as well but is the #1 seed so they should get it over Salem
With both teams undefeated, that's one problem with VHSL policies as to where games are played. This game should not be played on either home field. I like neutral sites and may best team win.
I'm sitting on the home side! Salem's JV supporters almost filled the visitor's stands. I'm hoping they bring in stands and porta johns...I feel like I have to get there at 5:00 just to find a space to put a chair. Perhaps I'll come at 4:00. When will the gates open?

If JF isn't willing or able to bring in more seating then they can't get angry with half of their side being full of opposing teams fans. First come first serve.
You can sit there too because their fans do not sit down that early

Thanks a lot Mike. I'll be there cheering on your Spartans. GL to both teams.
Thanks DSH, I'm not going to be able to go but you can cheer for me. I'll be watching on Gameday. Should be an instant classic! Get there early gates open at 5 and I expect a legion of Spartans, JF fans, Seminole District fans, and fans of good HS football.
