I wonder how many semis had more people than their finals. I can almost certainly say the Cocoa/BTW game had more than that.

Where'd you find these? Was looking for these earlier but obviously was looking in the wrong place(s).

Pahokee had at least 3200 of the 3800 plus fans in 1A.... Love those Devils!!!!

@Big Blue So you're saying only 800 hundred people showed up for Baker.

[1kKB_]

yes

[09mrslick]

All ways been the closer schools to bring cowards. Lake Brantley, Boone, Apopka, Dr. Phillips and Seminole out of the Orlando area. I'm surprised 7A wasn't bigger with Plant being from Tampa not that far away either. Miami schools always bring crowds and Pahokee brought a lot for a small school shoot damn near whole city of Pahokee showed up.

[1kKB_]

Pahokee have a huge fan base for a small school.... They will follow them, maybe the travel distance hurted Baker fan base...

[Cocoa2010]

Yeah, i'd say the same thing for the Cocoa game. Bolles had maybe 200 people there.

[Tigerfan1]

I was there and i dont think that is correct, Baker had at least 1200 to 1500 fans.  

[DisabledAccount]

Columbia brought over 10k to the 97 game

 

Look at those numbers

[peezy28]

Plant Homegames are usually packed... I've always been underwhelmed with what they bring to state title games though. I guesss thr South Tampa Aristocrats are too busy to travel or something.

Our Florida total attendance is about equivalent to one Texas championship game. Come on Florida, we need to do better.

I would like to see Texas and Cali grow some toughness and play a game in Florida

 

Why should Florida have to travel

 

They can come here

[Cat_Scratch]

Texas pays out of state teams pretty well to travel, where most Florida schools can not afford to pay Texas teams to come here and play unless it is a team like IMG or one of the better privates.

Texas Football is about the money as well as the program. They know to have a good program, it comes with a price tag, and losing money on a game isn't in their best interest.

[SportsNut25]

The vast majority of Texas teams have no incentive to come to Florida. They make thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars on their home games. Why should they give that up to come play a Florida team? Even if they come to play Aquinas, IMG, Jax TCA, etc. 

 

Cali on the other hand -- well that's just cause the amount of distance between the two locations really. There are some smaller CA teams that are starting to look at a trip to Florida. Smaller schools but they do have pretty sizable athletic budgets/really good booster clubs.

Thanks for doing this..was going to post it...so yes attendance up slightly which is better than nothing.

 

I think I would say look for the FHSAA to possibly start having an all-day ticket next year. They have been doing this in other sports and now the FHSAA having the football finals finally in all one-weekend will likely allow for this to happen. The only reason they couldn't do it this year was the contract changes that had to be made thanks to the moves made by the ACC.

Tigerfan1 are you serious? Are were you high on pain medication when you were at this game? Baker (may have) had 200 people there. But I can understand that, that was a 400 mile trek for them. Just make sure Trenton is ready next year.

I was there and Baker had a decent turnout.

[Original1]

Just look at the replay of the game on TV. Baker did have a decent turn out. But they had nowhere near close to 1,000 fans. That was a long trip for them.

 

Pahokee and Glades Central fans always travel. That game could have been at Baker and Pahokee still would have had at least 1,000 fans.
