FootballGuy Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Is it safe to say that GHSA makes well over a million dollars during championship weekend? I mean, with ticket prices being $22 dollars times the number of people attending the games, you'd think that revenue would eclipse six figures right?

Hell....it will cost the GHSA a million to rent the stadium, pay the utilities, pay the personnel and pay the travel stipend to the teams. Luckily...State Fromm will pick up some of the expense.

Does it (the payout) vary based on classification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And make NO mistake! If you don't come a day early, you have NO chance at competing well! It's bad enough when the deck is stacked against SOWEGA logistically, of having to travel 2000 plus miles in a five week period! For a NORTH Georgia team! Worst case scenario would be to travel a TOTAL of 500 miles, in those same five weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't NO way in HELL, a team who nearly screwed da pooch at Thomas Co. Central, beats ROME! They run a very similar ground oriented offense! Except that Rome has TEN TIMES the talent pool, even though they say that ALL of that SEC D level talent, comes from a town of 36,000! Lets see, John Reid pulls a Dexter Wood and Jessica Simpson!(Marietta and East Paulding to Buford) And goes from getting BITCH SLAPPED TWICE by Colquitt, in a space of three seasons at Tift! And POOF, he goes to Rome the next season, and goes 30-0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the stipend doesn't even come close in covering Colquitt's costs. The Packer Touchdown Club President is asking for donations. Can we count you in?

HawgGoneIt Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 My understanding is all of the hotels in the perimeter were all booked already on Saturday. Some doctor convention and a Walking Dead fan function called Walker Stalker or something even had the usual place the Packers stay either booked or so severely overpriced as to be nearly impossible. Not sure how the arrangements have worked out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet HERE they come, raising prices almost yearly! If the ONLY had a BRAIN! Lower the DAMN PRICES and LOWER the DAMN parking fees! Best case scenario is to take MARTA, at a total cost of FIVE dollars per day! And a one time $2.00 fee just cause they live in a BULLSHIT city! CONVERSELY, Tejas charges about $2.00 for admission, and FREE parking! No wonder they draw crowds of 50,000 PLUS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I planned on staying in Atlanta for the weekend (Marriott Marquis) and the rooms were booked already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived here almost six years, and I know ONE kid who ever attended JOCO! And she left early to take classes on line, and at the Middle Georgia Technical College!! Cause the local kids are CLOWNS!
