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.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Separation Scientist · Posted

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
