I know the transitive property is very subjective but it will be interesting to see how Cathedral holds their own against these guys as Carmel and Warren have already played them. An Irish win? Guys like me will overreact and claim that New Pal is in serious trouble (many think they already might be)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staxawax Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 They have a common opponent in Cincinnati Moeller, both convincing shutouts. Cathedral's MAY be more impressive as it was on the road. Trinity probably has not played on a real grass field either. Should be a great game. Worthy of a better location IMHO. But I guess when you don't have your own field you take what you can get.

Probably their favorite place to play and tailgate. But, Tech is playing a home game that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlington looked to be in great condition from what I could tell watching the Cathedral vs Chatard game played there a few games back. @Lysander and @PHJIrish would be better to elaborate.

The Butler Bowl I believe costs $10,000 for the evening when we play there. Tech runs $1,500 and they keep concessions as well and Cathedral gets the gate. Compared to gate and concessions at Arlington and I don't think they pay any fee to use the field. The other thing that I know will help is the attendance of the student body. Arlington being right by school really helps get the students who live in Hamilton County to the games, compared to having to drive all the way downtown to Tech. Just my opinion though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the field was in excellent condition. Heard that Turfdogs, the officail grounds crew of Cathedral, put between $5k to $10k into the field and it showed. They had started work on it back in April. A beautifully crowned grass field is a great site to see in 2019 at the 5A level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could only tell from the sidelines (no kids on the field these days) but the field appeared to be in excellent condition. Just for the record, my kids practiced on the “old” Chatard field - any field not featuring dirt, rocks (some glass mixed in for good measure) and volumes of goose-poop is a good field.

If CHS wanted to they could have easily played at Marian or UIndy I’ve seen Arlington although it was probably 20 years ago. No doubt the infusion of money and work has improved the field. I’d say this plays in Cathedral’s favor against Trinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I wonder when the last time Trinity has played on grass? 7 years? Maybe it will be an advantage. Either way, the venue was rocking for the northside Catholic battle 3 weeks ago. I’m hopeful it remains that way for a Top 20 Max Preps program. I think we are 0-4 against them, but we’re due for an out of state W. Here is Arlington as of 3 weeks ago: 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgs_Dad Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Trinity played on grass 2 weeks ago against Louisville Male. As far as I know, all of Jefferson Co. (KY) public schools have grass fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two expectations at Cathedral. 1. Win State 2. Beat Chatard Fail at #1 and season can be respectable. Complete #1 and fail at #2 is also acceptable. Fail at both and that season is never to be spoken of or mentioned ever again. 😂 Edited October 2, 2019 by IndplsCathedral_Dad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A supportive Cathedral comment at that, hopefully our success so far this season has improved your opinion of our boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHJIrish Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 I've been told that Cathedral is kinda "kicking the tires" with playing more home games at Arlington. It has a lot of positives, including the close proximity to Cathedral. If the decision comes to playing most, if not all home games, at Arlington, further updates will take place. Right now it is adequate for a few games. If there had been more inclement weather recently that probably would have changed. Luckily we've been in a dry spell here in Central Indiana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTLUCK Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Maybe Cathedral should recruit more wealthy families to fund their own field. Edited October 3, 2019 by POTLUCK punctuation 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
