Spectrum showing the games cut down on the attendance,  and I was surprised it was that much.

Not everyone has Spectrum, so for example, I was unable to watch last night's game on TV. I wasn't willing to spend $10 to stream it. I think it hurts attendance but only if the weather is damp, cold. I doubt fans from schools like Raines or Cocoa were watching on TV, when the drive isn't too long to the stadium. 

TV showing probably hurts the motivation of the casual fan of high school football from showing up rather than the fan of the school.

6A will have the biggest crowd barring weather unless armwood doesn't travel... NW have more people than that their rival games.. barring rain should easily be over 10k whenever NW is at state. Especi

I know the tickets allotted to Cocoa were sold out by 9 Tuesday morning.

My estimation was between 4000 and 4500. It could easily have been more since I counted 250 and then rows of 250 and added them all together for a guess. Miami Northwestern was there for the first half and a lot of people walking around and I didn't include those.

I think the last time we had big crowds was when the championship games were in south fla... 

Yup. All classes combined in Miami for 2006 season was 56,453 which is an FHSAA combined classification record. (Have to note that Orlando in 2007 did draw 52,750 which is it's lone good year.)

Maybe for playing field, but not for attendance. 

If talking attendance, somewhere in South Florida seems to be the most ideal setting -- the only problem is where in South Florida. 

Why put it in south Florida where you will have panhandle teams traveling 10 hours for south Florida teams having it next door

 

The idea is for state finals to be centralized location 

 

And technically the teams in the north like niceville, madison, St Augustine for example bring better crowds than most south Florida teams so idealy moving it to north would increase attendence but honestly it isn't where it is but who goes that determines attendence 

 

Years where niceville, st Augustine and heck even last time Columbia went is when you get high numbers 

 

You can move to south Florida but attendence won't improve if the  teams with established fan bases don't make it

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.
