It’s not the biggest - but not the smallest either.
I’m not sure how well y’all travel, but to put in perspective, when Tarboro plays there if you’re not there 45 mins before game time you’re not getting a seat.
I’d say if you got there 30 mins before the game you should be okay.

You know how we travel 77. I'll be there an hour ahead of time.
From the satellite view, it looks like the bleachers run from the 35 to the 35 about 10 rows high.

Getting into the game isn't bad. Getting out after the game can take a while, unless you don't mind walking. There is a lot on the opposite side of the school that is usually not crowded and can get you out a bit faster after, but you have to walk around the front side of the school. The back side is restricted access so trying to go that direction is a waste of time. Also that back side lot will work better for visitors because its a right turn back onto NC43 heading north. Most of the local traffic leaves heading south toward Pinetops and Macclesfield or east heading toward Wiggins Crossroads.
As advised earlier. Early arrival is probably your best bet. I'd be surprised if you can bring as many fans as Tarboro brings as they are hanging on the fences the entire game. Should be a great game. Go Cougars! Go get that ship that has eluded you.
Thanks for the tips. We did fill up the visitor's side at East Duplin last year. It was a similar ride and similar size bleachers. We will see.
I expect a really good game. All of the metrics seem to show a pretty even matchup. No predictions from me.
That's true. Don't come with the expectations that it'll be similar sized. I'm guessing that maybe 100 can fit in hip to hip. But as cold as it's gonna be, I'm sure there will be some room on the home side. No knock on our fans, but it's just gonna be too cold for a lot of people.
Way more than a hundred. Y'all's seating will largely depend on how big your band is, as they may take up 1/3 of the seating. If you band takes up an entire section the other 2 can seat probably 200-300 hundred packed in like sardines.

The band isn’t coming. Activity buses go at a rate of $1/mile in Davidson county. They’d need two buses. That’d be about 700 bucks. They’re a competition band and would prefer to spend their earned money on that kind of thing. Not a knock on them. They’ve taken a big hit from the shrinking of the school. 4 years ago they had 130 member. This year only 80. Next year it looks like they’ll drop to about 60.
As long as I've been a former student and player, fan, and supporter, I've never actually been to the visitors bleachers. Even when I ran track, I ran no more than the 200, so I never had to pass them. I guess it's bigger than I thought from the home side view.

You're right. I remember seeing a capacity requirement somewhere but I don't remember the numbers.
I read the rule a while back, and it doesn’t specify where the seats would need to be located. First Flight doesn’t have visitors side bleachers at all, but have hosted in the past.
Oh ok. Y'all good for 4-500 comfortable. Our games with Tarboro and especially Rocky Mount have had Gates of over 3000
