Also the paint they used ruined some uniforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slicklizard Posted August 14, 2024 Share Posted August 14, 2024 I’m glad to know somebody up there seen what everyone else did. Hattiesburg is the best site hands down. It pulls people in from the coast along the I10 corridor just to watch.. if we are being honest Starkville and Oxford are in the middle of nowhere. Outside of the city locals no casual watchers are going to drive there to watch. This was the right move. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep racking up the 5A gold balls. It really is the best venue for the high school state championships. Unless a 20K seat stadium gets built somewhere in central MS, Hattiesburg is the best place for the state championships. I truly hope they can put this mystery rotational crap to bed and keep the thing in Hattiesburg for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add the Mississippi College has a nice stadium and I think it used to be played on campus there at some point in time.

s1nglewing Posted August 14, 2024 Share Posted August 14, 2024 MC has a seating capacity of 8500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted August 14, 2024 Share Posted August 14, 2024 If Starkville, West Point, Louisville, and Noxubee continue to get to state then Starkville needs no Hotels for overnight stay. And they can drive straight home and never spend a dime in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is restaurants do make some money in Hattiesburg. They have more to offer in Hattiesburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
