NLCTigerFan07 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Will they have visitor side seating? My memory could be off, but I don't remember how much space they have on that side of the field as it butts up against Clinton Street.

Yes, but substantially less than the home side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTF Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I hope they didn't use Luers as a model. If they did, I hope they added 1500 seats or better. I would be concerned with hosting big games against Luers, Snider, Homestead, and Carroll. Do Luers, and maybe Dwenger, leave a lot of money on the table due to lack of seating? I skip the Snider/Luers game whenever it is away. Their visitor side holds maybe 500 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen disimination of probable vistor seating in the permanent bleaches of 730, and tempoary portable bleaches in and out as needed.

I guess it is easy to cheap shot someone's stadium when you don't have one of your own. I'm sure a lot of Luers people would like to have a Texas high school like stadium but are proud we have played our home games at our own dump since 1980 than play in someone else's stadium.

Certainly not a dump. Certainly not a cheap shot. It's just small. I think Luers has a beautiful campus and it's great they play their games there. I just think they leave some money on the table when hosting some of the teams that bring a big following. Good luck to the Knights this year! Back to Dwenger. Both teams could very well be 8-0 this year when they meet. That means 5000-10000 depending on the weather. Luckily the game is being played at Spuller. But I can't help but wonder what it's going to look like the first time Dwenger hosts Snider when both teams are undefeated. Maybe it will all work out. Anyway, congrats to Dwenger on their new field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowwowindy Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 So I'm assuming the late Jim Shields, and/or sons had something to do with getting this done? If so, more great work by one of the great contributors to the Fort Wayne area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you two are representing the values of your denomination. Hope the archdiocese in SB doesn't see this or you two will be in confession booths pronto. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
