FootballGuy Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Do y'all think that the CKC should be played in the new stadium? I personally don't think it should because I don't think that the high school teams deserve first dibs on a $1.2 billion dollar stadium 2 professional sports teams (Falcons and United).

Fred Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Won't be at Mercedes *this* year. I bet it is next year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballGuy Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Only reason I ask this is because I seen a few a people imply that it should be in the Falcons' new stadium. I mean, I find it ridiculous for people to complain about it not being the new stadium. It's almost as if they're trying to pull rank in a way.

HawgGoneIt Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Well, considering that the headliners for the Classic has been played at the dome for years, it seems kind of shitty to put them out of it this year. I guarantee that the classic suffers at asses in the seats this year because of it. I know many that get tickets for it in their season package but have yet to hear of anyone that has hard plans to go. Talking about die hard fans too. It's just going to be too hot at 3 in the afternoon for the game to be enjoyable in person. I'm still undecided but leaning stay home for this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've gotten comfortable. I don't mind including myself in that group. I may not go due to other commitments but I know my wife won't go and she likes high school football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The uncertainties with the construction schedules made it impossible to guarantee and at some point the Kell has to confirm cast in stone. I bet it is back next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hope they get some more teams South of the Macon-Dixon line in there. Why does Colquitt have to carry the SoGA flag?

Did you really expect for the CKC to have first dibs in the new stadium tho? I sure as hell didn't. I say the GHSA strike up a last minute deal with the Georgia Dome so that the CKC can be played there 1 last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell is first dibs? I mean these are professional football and soccer teams that should be the most supportive people in the world toward youth sports imo. If not for youth sports, they wouldn't be where they are now. Also, if they would feel slighted by kids getting to play in a stadium before them, that would be some of the most childish shit coming from professional athletes and their management. I think it's too late to change up now, but, I don't think anyone much would complain from a fan perspective if they did play it at the dome one last time. Not sure what state of repair the dome is in currently either, considering it's slated for demolition soon, they may have already removed stuff from there that would make it impossible either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess we can't always get what we want, right? I just knew from the jump that this event wouldn't be held at the falcons' new stadium. As far as the state championship games, I hope GHSA has already set something up with the Falcons so that the games can be played there. If not, I guess I'll be looking forward to the championship games to be held at whoever's home field....kinda like how it was in the mid 2000s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLien12x Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Not attending at Turner Field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think the old Turner Field venue could be ok if the games were all played at night. As most of us Georgians know already, mid-August at 3 in the afternoon is the most sweltering weather that one can endure normally in Georgia. It's going to be pretty tough on the teams, but they are young and resilient. Fans going out and sitting outdoors for a couple of hours in that kind of temperature and humidity is definitely asking a little much. I would still be a question mark on attending if the tickets were totally free and a limo was sent to bring me to the stadium. Maybe if Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Arthur Blank "chilled" out there with me for the duration... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said, I expect Rush to ask for a new stadium to be built... and he'd probably get it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Damn that Im not sitting in Turner field at 3pm in that scorching as humid heat. I barely wanna do it where I live.... Im for damn sure not doing it optionally.... I'll watch it on TV.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus69 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 For the first time since Colquitt has been playing in the Corky (1996)...Ms. Violet and I will NOT be attending. We went to McEachern. We almost died. I told Rush after that.....Never Again. So if anybody wants Corky tickets...for an August 19th game...at Turner Field...at 3:00 pm in the afternoon....in the sun..... Have I got a DEAL for you !!!!!! Rufus>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
