For inquiring minds....

To find out "about" how many people a stadium can hold...

Every yard of stands can seat about 2 people.

So...

The "average" stadium in the Beaumont area is goal line to goal line (100 yards wide) and 26 rows high (A to Z)

100 x 2 = 200 (people on 1 row)

200 x 26 = 5200 (total number of people)

So most 4A and 5A stadiums in the Beaumont area seat around 10,000 (5,200 x 2)

The new staduium in Dayton is about 50 yards wide and will be 58 ROWS HIGH!!!

There are more aisles in this stadium if you look at the pictures in bronco1's topic so that will affect the formula, but...

50 x 2 = 100

100 x 58 = 5800

There will also be a section of fold down seats so that will decrease this number.

The other side of Bronco stadium can seat around 3,000.

So when the stadium is finished it should hold between 8,000 and 9,000 people.

I do believe the 58 rows at this stadium will be the highest of any stadium in this part of the state.

Hey you Dayton chaps went by your stadium this morning and; D; D.... The stands look great that they have up thus far and man you guys have it going. I like the height of the home side and going to be very impressive. Leave the light on bc we are getting one if our bond passes on May 12th. Turf and not as big as stands as you guys but still none the less better than that dump we now play in. Good job Dayton.

PN-G is also hoping to pass a bond issue. Stadium will have field turf, two story press box, and a brick facade to match the school. The endzone seat will be removed due security issues while stands willl be extended on both sides so the capacity should stay at 13,000.

bronco1...

Where will the "reserved seating" be, at the top, bottom or middle???

and...

How many reserved seats will there be???

They will start about 13 rows up and a few rows from the press box, I do believe.

They have set amount of reserved seats but do not recall exact count.

I have heard "inklings" about a huge bond issue at PNG.

Graduating from there, I still think that the "Reservation" is the "Taj Majal" of football stadiums in this part of the state.  There may be "better" looking stadiums elsewhere, but the history of what has occurred on that field and the huge home side is one of a kind.  I have been told from opposing teams that the pregame walk into the field from the gym is one of the most intimidating parts of the game.  Do you know when construction will start and when it is expected to be completed.

People often question about the expenditures in athletic facilities, but in reality it is the only real financial generating structure that a school district has.  Just think of the $$$ PNG rakes in on a home game that is sold out.  This is a very nice stadium in the process of being constructed and the opposing teams won't be dissapointed when they visit Bronco Stadium.

That's pretty close to the formula that I use but I believe 24" per person is a more accurate measurement. 

100 x 3 / 2 = 150 (people on 1 row)

150 x 26 = 3900 (total number of people

I have count well over 300 hundred stadiums around the state and many times compared it to actual counts and it is amazingly close.  When you use this formula you don't have to deduct for ramps and other anomalies.  It gives more of a "Butt on the bench" count.

At the end of the day unless you spend several hours with pencil, paper, calculator and binoculars, it’s an estimate.

thanks texasbob...

I am a math teacher and appreciate the more "accurate" estimate.

One of my activities is to show pictures of football stadiums and have the 8th graders calculate the maximum capacity.

Horseshoes, Hand granades, and Stadium Capacities, close is what it's all about.

      What news station do you watch?…..never mind.    What age are the children you take care of. Refugees from where? Are they in a hospital? Now children compared to criminals…..geeeez. The mayor of Denver and a few governors, including Newsom, have said they will not turn over incarcerated criminals to ICE. This is a felony. They are harboring criminals and fugitives. Gee, I’m so glad you want criminals protected. Anyone who crossed illegally into our country is a criminal. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

      Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita.

      I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆
