Will fans show up? I expected way more fans for that last Home game vs Calallen especially since it was a game that we knew Alice could win. What is the formula? What things have to line up perfect in the world to get Alice fans to the stadium? It probably doesn't help that the 1 guy from Alice streams the games to Facebook.

I heard the new sup was trying to get hand rails installed at the stadium cause supposedly she had hundreds and hundreds of complaints from people mostly from older season ticket holders is that one of the main reason they don’t go is because stairs at stadium are big and out dated and hard to climb with no hand rail to assist. I guess I can see that somewhat from keeping people out especially older grandparents and stuff. Alice stairs are very narrow idk how installing hand rails is going to work out.

ive seen more people this year struggling to get up the stairs then normal. alot of them r older people, really over weight people. and people who have disabilities. im always worried they r gonna fall down the stairs. i sit on seats closest to the stairs so im always willing to help. so i can see hand rails being good for them . and yes with the fair going on it will be a weak crowd. always has been.

Yep the stairs are way to narrow to install rails. Sound like it's time for them to tear down the Home and Visitors side and put up something new

Alice by 21 minimum. Likely more if the offense doesn't make mistakes. I can't see Zapata getting more than 14 and likely less than that unless Alice is up real big and the 2s get a lot of time in the 2nd half on defense. Alice 35+ Zapata 14-

Will fans show up for Friday’s Night game? I don’t think so, it may be a halfway filled on the home only the fact that it’s county fair week. Crazy the fact is that the homegrown fans fills up the visitors side more than the home side. I know our stands needs a major upgrade along with the stair handles especially for the older people if anyone falls or struggle thats a lawsuit, if I see a senior citizen needing help getting up & down the stands I myself will lend a helping hand. Speaking of the game since the bye week we’ve held our own on the defensive side of the ball & offensively keep executing drives establishing the run game more to open up the pass plays.

This should be another fairly easy game. Similar to the TM game. 49-7, 56-7.

I just want to see the new scoreboard. The game should be a blowout.

I'm guessing the casual fan did not "know" Alice would win and those are a huge percentage of big crowds. Just keep winning and "they will come." Those types just want to identify with winning.

I'm sure but it really doesn't help that the 1 Alice fan streams the games LIVE to his facebook page. The game vs Calallen got over 8k views. I'm not saying that's 8k more fans that would have shown up to the game if he wasn't streaming but I bet there is a HUGE chunk of fans that don't go because they know they can view this dude's stream.

I’ll go ahead and say this. I now wish they would get rid of streaming for UIL games save maybe the last two rounds of the playoffs and the championships. That’s in all sports. Not only are kids not getting the in person support they should get and most of us on her enjoyed back in our day But all the clubs who sell concessions are losing money that helps their fundraising. So the kids lose twice.

So the kids lose twice. I can understand your point, but folks that can't get out for various reasons, like myself currently, enjoy seeing the games still. I do agree if your healthy and can go, get your arse off the couch and go support the kids! Go buy concession stand items, buy the programs, and enjoy the atmosphere! If you're not local, find a local team to support like houndhound did.

So the kids lose twice. At the very least only allow the streaming on some kind of delayed deal like maybe it can't be shared until the Monday after or something. And yeah money is being lost and then some of these illegal streamers have the nerve to post cashapp info and ask for tips after they are literally costing their own program money by doing this.

Streams allow people that live far away or that have health issues to be able to watch the games …don’t blame it all on the streaming .. attendance has been down way before the games were ever streamed … you have to change with the times …did radio broadcasts impact attendance in the 90’s? if boosters feel they are losing out on money due to poor attendance then school districts need to find a way to monetize the streams and capitalize on the technology… people that no longer live in the area shouldn’t be punished for UIL or school districts not being able to monetize the streams … there’s a market out there for streaming … school districts need to change with the times
