chorizo Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 just a warning my son had baseball tournament there a few months back right across street and from what i seen is the visitors side is very small.....our band will fill up most of that place....
cooligan Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 Texas Bob has the capacity at 8800. How much of that is for visitors? Any Wildcat's care to give us the heads up? Thanks
football04 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 I wish they had chosen to play in Baytown both years instead of home and home.

Thanks [/quote]http://www.texasbob.com/stadium/stadium.php?id=1280It's a new stadium opened in 2009, so I would doubt the visitor side would be that small.
ATWILDCAT Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 The visitor seating capacity is 3200. Home side is about 5000-5500. Kind of like the Pearland stadium but a bit smaller. When they first built the stadium they realized that the visitor side was too small so they added 1000 more seats and had them installed and finished right before the opening game.
dawgnut Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 So taking out for the band and everyone else we will have around 2,800 seats left. I would suggest that everyone bring their antiperspirant, it could be a little tight.
oldrock Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 Last year when Dayton played there the Angleton Student section was on the Visitor side.
dawgnut Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 I didn't think you could do that by the UIL rules.
oldrock Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 I think it might have been Junior High students but I do remember an Angleton student section on our side.
dawgnut Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 If they do that Friday night it could be really interesting. It would add a whole new meaning to togetherness.
bobbymcgee Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 It can't be any smaller than Crosby's!
chorizo Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Posted September 10, 2012 im telling yal i seen it with my own 2 eyes in july.......id compare it to lcm visitor side

Large student sections every game on the visitor side with the band and drill team on that same side as well, its quite intimidating for the visiting team
cooligan Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 All I know, I have have season tickets and already have tickets for Angleton. If there isn't a seat when I arrive there will be a few tuba's and players going over the backside, cause I'm a grouchy old man. ;D

We sat on the visitors side thinking it would be less crowded, no such luck.
KF89 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 I WAS AT SAME BASEBALL TOURNEY & VISITORS SIDE ISNT VERY BIG MAYBE BE A LITTLE BIGGER THAN LCM.AFTER BAND & DRILL TEAM IT WILL BE VERY TIGHT IF USUAL NEDERLAND CROWD SHOWS UP.
vpdb78 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Angleton's kids were loud and rowdy on visitor side

Purple/Silver/White Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 You should've been @ the Angleton vs. Dawson playoff game last year. It was played @ The Rig in Pearland, and Angleton filled up the entire visitor's side, half of the HOME side, AND some small (temporary) stands that were placed outside one end zone. The rest (PART of the other half the home side) was filled with Dawson fans. It was GREAT!... Except for the part when Dawson won. >:( I Hope we meet up again this year. If so, this time there will likely be a different outcome. :P
BigDog007 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Well its going to be tight it sounds Just Neds band has around 280+, westernaires 36, plus flags and twirlers. So thats one whole section filled. From the buzz around Nederland it sounds like the last one out of town will need to turn the lights out.
dawgnut Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 They probably never watched our band. No clue how big it is.

That's a lot.
Michele Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 That would be correct! This is the largest band to date I believe. I have been getting the same reaction on the numbers from Nederland going to the game. I will be there bringing 5 with me. ;)
Purple/Silver/White Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 I'm sure that will make for a sweeeet halftime show too! I want to wish everyone who is traveling to Angleton a safe and careful drive to and from the game. We're looking foreward to a packed house! Also, we should pray for an Injury-free game for both teams because we know that this one will be a hard hitting playoff type game / atmosphere, and we will need all of our players to stay healthy for as much of the season as possible. Just a couple more days and it'll be on! ;D
