Now, about the venue ….

First, Cal Hi turned out to be a great atmosphere for Friday’s Southeast championship game, but then again, I got to enjoy it from the field with my press pass, far different than the experience of paid customers. Cal Hi simply wasn’t big enough and the parking was absolutely terrible for a championship event. Fans parked as far a mile away, and there were hundreds of fans who had to stand along the fences near both end zones because there weren’t enough seats. If I were to guess, this was a 5,500 seat stadium that crammed at least 7,000 inside the gates. If you’re going to sell that many tickets, you should have seats available for everyone. We thought it was a mistake for CIF to allow the game to be played there for all these reasons, and we were absolutely right.
