No argument there. I like seeing the variety at the Vero Beach event. I’m sure I’ll see the Chaminade and West Boca Raton each play this year. Probably multiple times.

I’m moving to Boca Raton on July 1 so I might venture up there. There may be a better KO classic in the state. I’d love to hear of it.

I thought the Broward vs USA were regular season games.

Wow! If true I would like to see if there would be a better kickoff classic in the state of Florida. I think a jamboree type setup would be a good way to go. Vero Beach, Lakeland and Lincoln by luck of the draw play the Miami teams a half at a time. Each team would only play 2 half’s.

IMG’s tuition is between $75,000- $95,000. I’ve spoken to some parents of IMG football players. They told me it was all on scholarship.

Broward Vs USA Showcase “Do it or Do it Not Count”
MarkECannon replied to DILLARDBOYZ954's topic in The Huddle
I asked this before but has anyone heard when tickets for the Saturday games at STA will go on sale? I emailed one of the directors but never got a response. -

Plant has a pretty good atmosphere. The home side has the stands with the roof. The water tower hovers over the stadium with PLANT on it. I don’t know if they have replaced the old field turf recently but it needed to be. The concessions are in the end zone and are good. The visitors stands are adequate but could be improved compared with the rest of the stadium. The Plant band is one of the best while they are in the stands. The roof over the home side captures their sound. It looks and sounds, dare I say the word . . . Amazing. If you hang out on the end zone side near the concessions you can pick up interesting conversations. It’s usually Plant parents that are loosely paying attention to the game. A subject that may be discussed is which vacation home their family is going to spend Thanksgiving. It’s a tough decision whether to stay at their place in the mountains of North Carolina or their place in the Keys. (Full disclosure, my mother graduated from Plant in 1954 so I have a warm appreciation for the school). Armwood on the other hand is one of my least favorite stadiums in the state. It’s the common sterile steel stadium that is common for unfortunately a lot of schools in Florida. Not much that makes you think you are at Armwood except for the usual senior banners inside the entrance. The crowd really isn’t very engaged with the game even when it is a big game. A lot of ignorance in the crowd if you know what I am saying. It is kind of cool that you can see the I-4 traffic from one side of the end zone. Here’s a tip. Go to the visitors concession side which is the one closer to I-4. The home side concessions are too close to the stands causing an almost crush of humanity just to buy a hot dog. Their band has improved in recent years. It used to be one of the smallest I had ever seen for a big football school.

Go to an Osceola home game, especially a big game, and you will see why kids want to play there. It’s one of those places you wish your program was if it isn’t already. Great atmosphere, pageantry, sense of community. You will be impressed.

I’m sure he wouldn’t mind me saying but I spoke to Darter a couple of days ago. Late in the season he said he wouldn’t be surprised if this happened. Darter liked and has a lot of respect for Coach Rolfson. He said it was a shame that Coach didn’t get his state championship against Columbus in 2019.

Sorry, the company I own already has a corporate box.

Contacted GoFan yesterday about my $8 refund. There is not a phone # to call of course. I found one online. I called it and left a voicemail. We’ll see. Anyway, I went through the process that was a Chat on the GoFan app. The Chat informed me it did not matter that the event did not occur there will not be a refund. It referred me to the school since the funds go to the school hosting. I called Bartow High. Told the operator so I’m guessing they transferred me to the athletic director so I left a message. Not sure I’ll continue to spend much more energy on this but these companies, like GoFan, that do not have an option to speak to a live human being are very impersonal and frustrating.

Does anyone know when the tickets will go on sell for the Showcase Aug 21-23? The website goes to Go Fan but none listed yet.

Friday night I decide to support my local school, the Auburndale Bloodhounds, as they are slated to host Ft. Meade. I pull up to the school but there isn’t any football game. So I look at GoFan and see Auburndale is playing at Bartow. So I drive over to Bartow but there is no game being played there. I double check the GoFan, May 23rd 7pm at Bartow High School. Does anyone know what happened to this game?
