Pretty much splitting hairs honestly, Chillicothe is all back streets you have to deal with and Jackson is a straight shot out to the highway in a couple directions. I really enjoyed the instant replay at Chillicothe, have to think Jackson's visitor section holds quite a few more people and Jackson has better concessions. Went to the window at Chillicothe and there's someone standing at a table who then turns around to relay it to people in the window I should've been ordering from and only 1 person was taking orders. Parking is MUCH improved over previous years at Chillicothe for sure, can't really count city amenities if we're talking Playoff Host. Jackson has a lot more ppl involved and makes everything quicker. Once again I don't think there's to much a difference in the 2 but there's some just don't believe anyone can say hands down its one or the other. I don't worry about my belongings in the car near as much parked up on the hill at Jackson.CavalierAlum05 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 10:18 am gotta be Chillicothe.
Jackson only really takes the edge in Stadium now.
Chilli has better amenities in the city and now has the best parking situation with grade 3-6 building complete.
Jacksons stadium is much nicer but it says 'host' not stadium.

Jackson has my vote..........all areas, parking, stadium, ease getting in and out and lots of good eating establishments.....Chilli comes in second IMO........

Jackson.....Chillicothe is nice but fails to out do the experience Jackson provides.

So much nicer without the track that is for sure. Not for sure if Jackson has it built in or not but I really liked the instant replay at Chillicothe. Think that is something Jackson should bring in.countywide35 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 11:57 am Jackson.....Chillicothe is nice but fails to out do the experience Jackson provides.
Re: Best Playoff Host
Waverly has the edge on everyone in SEO in my opinion. Concessions, pricing, and parking have no comparison. Facilities are as good as any others but the true edge is in the food, parking, pricing, and courtesy. Jacksons parking is too bottlenecked for a rivalry game much less playoff football and the walk is not practical for elderly or young fans. Logan would be my second but not even close to waverly.

Try getting off on high street off 35. You're 4-5 blocks from the stadium from this highway exit. Not sure if this is how you come.
if you do, hang a right at the BP, then an immediate left. You'll run right into the stadium.

Waverly did have a great parking and concession situation when we came up week 11.

agreed goose...…..I see Jackson making this happen in the coming years...…..I believe Jackson did a media stint for both Ironton and Amanda-Clearcreek student/athletes for their game.....didn't have to do it but did it anyway...….great stuff....stadium, location, eateries all in all first class all the way...…..

Re: Best Playoff Host
All stadiums mentioned are great. One thing I consider also is seating. I think within reason, you should be able to seat the crowd expected.
Best seating options:
Jackson
Chillicothe
Logan
Valley

Jackson, I've been to all the one's that have been mentioned, it's still Jackson.

Re: Best Playoff Host
I like it too. Good for the fans that would rather stand too. Has the easy on the elbow tops all the way around the fence to lean on. Not many schools I've been to have those fence toppers. Nice clean looking stadium and updated nicely.MrFirstTake wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 4:34 pmI agree I’m ready to get there Saturday it’s been a while

Re: Best Playoff Host
I mentioned this on another thread how I don’t mind the seating capacity much because I always stand and they bit my head offTRENCHFOOT wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 4:42 pmI like it too.

Re: Best Playoff Host
Then I'm going to get bit then as well.. Let them bite, because I like standing too. I'll bite back on that preference. I always stand. I've tried the seating deal, but much rather stand and follow the ball.MrFirstTake wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 4:51 pmI mentioned this on another thread how I don’t mind the seating capacity much because I always stand and they bit my head offTRENCHFOOT wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 4:42 pmI like it too.
