First and foremost this stadium and crowd stuff is the most useless thing I have seen this year on this board.

1. This ain't Corbin's first rodeo..of course their field will be suitable to host the game. It may be a sell out and be a capacity crowd and their venue may not be ideal, but who cares? It's not like we are playing this game at Jenkins and people are going to be turned away after driving three hours. The bottom line is I expect probably 5000 people to attend this one and there are only a handful of venues in the entire State, College or HS, that would comfortably seat 5000 fans. People are going to have to stand, and those in the bleachers are probably going to be standing most of the game anyways.

2. This dick measuring contest about who has the biggest crowd an these facebook groups from each team trying to pat each other's own backs are well and good if that's what it takes to get the fans fired up, but at the end of the day it is not going to matter! Corbin's going to have a huge crowd and be loud. Belfry's going to have a huge crowd and be loud. When Belfry makes a big play their fans will cheer. When Corbin makes a big play their fans will cheer. Belfry has played and won in front of huge road crowds with their visitor side full, Corbin has played and won in front of huge home crowds and large visitor contingent.

At the end of the day the effect of the crowd is going to be neutral. The crowd is not going to score a TD, deflect a pass to create an INT, strip the football, or make a key block. This game will be decided by the players and coaches.

3. All this talk about parking... First, Belfry fans don't be offended if you have to walk a country mile. You used to have to do it at Vipperman Stadium.. it's not a new concept. Get off your high horse and realize not everyone has parking like Belfry does now.Secondly, Corbin Fans don't be douche bags and do this "reserved parking" crap. If it is open parking any other game it should be open parking Friday. That's bush league.

In other words, both fanbases act like you've been there before because you have.
