Traveling Fans?

[Guest Kelly Football]

Which schools bring the largest amount of fans to away games?

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Lufkin, the MC schools, Jasper i remember had alot of fans down for a game in BMT.

[BMTSoulja1]

Both MC teams and BH.

[Guest ndn09]

I think the MD county teams to say the most.

[BhGrizzlyAdams]

bh always brings tons of fans, especially in playoff games and when we go to galena park  ;D

[jake94]

Port Neches, Katy, Nederland immediately come to mind.

[PURPLE 4EVER]

Look at the records for attendance in the state of Texas.

PNG is in almost half of the top 10 attended games, including the largest ever attended game in US history (50,000 in the 1977 state game).

You wonder why PNG and Nederland were asked to play in Reliant?

One reason is Reliant knew they would bring a substational fan base.

[BMTSoulja1]

In other words, lots of $Moolah$.

[Guest ndn09]

PNG is my team.

[Guest maverick24]

I agree Mid County travels a lot of fans. Lumberton use to be bad but over the  past two years that has changed, we have many more but probably not as many as M C teams.

[Guest FPHS 78]

Port Neches from the games I've seen

[EAGLE07]

I'd have to go with PNG.

BH does bring a lot of fans, but PNG brings the house, regardless of records.  Even in Baseball, they always have a large crowd.  Man, all that Purple.....

Someone mentioned Katy, well YES they are in a league of their owwn when it comes to fan support.  Kind of like a Bridge City game on Steroids.....freaking RED everywhere.

Lived in Katy for a couple of years and my wife taught at Katy HS. They have more fan support than anyone around here. Alot of it has to do with the large influx of people in that area, it's just incredible. It's a sea of red. For 4A I would say PNG and Nederland. I don't know much on the small classification schools.

[Guest ndn09]

I think so too about PNG because they brought the largest crowd to Texas Stadium with 49,000 fans.

[TradinUp BH]

This is just a thought, Port Neches has about 14,000 people and Groves has about 17,000 people. A third of Groves goes to Port Arthur schools. Therefore, there are only about 28,000 people that live in PNG ISD boundaries. In conclusion, there are people that graduated from PNG that live out of the area that still support PNG and come football season they drive in from all parts of Texas and further. That's why PNG TRADITION is so big and we are proud of it. Name another one besides maybe Nederland that comes close.  Think of the cities population and then the number of people that attend the games, it's incredible.

Also a portion of north west Port Neches is in the Nederland school district.

[Guest ndn09]

I did not know that portion of Port Neches is in Nederland's District man.

School district boundaries have nothing to do with city limits. They are two different government bodies. Parts of Port Arthur go to PAISD, PNGISD and NISD.

Lincoln used to bring 'em out football or basketball!

Lincoln's football crowd was dismal for several years. That was especially during the last few teams of Joe Washington. I saw some games there where they didn't have 100 fans on the home side.

[baddog]

Nederland and PNG both bring the house. It's sad when we travel to Houston and play a team that is geographically closer to the stadium and only 100+ fans show up on their side. I can only imagine what those people think when they look across at the sea of black and gold.
