The game is Friday night.

As far as the venue goes for this game.....


1. Altoona is out since BG is using Mansion Friday night
2. Hollidaysburg is out since the AAAA game is being played there.

Now I like the Richland facility, but it's a tad smallish for a AAA Championship game. Somerset should have the home side packed, but if Clearfield brings any sort of crowd, they won't have enough seating at all.

Richland is good in that, there is tons of parking, it's right off the highway and easily accessible. There are restaurants nearby, but the press box is ehhh, and the seating is on the small side.


Johnstown is a little bit harder to get to, but not by much. It has a better press box ( they actually have 2 press boxes) way more seating for each side, and parking isn't great, but not horrible.

We'll see how the crowd is, but Clearfield fans better get there early if they want to sit down.

Judging by last years game I think there will be plenty of seating. Not as many fans from clearfield came to Hollidaysburg

The Richland visiting side can only seat about 500, if they bring band and students, it gets very cramped very quickly.

This technically would be an inter district game thus the neutral field?

Hollidaysburg and Altoona are in use.

They needed a neutral field with turf. I think Johnstown is a nicer venue but the GJSD is weird about renting out their facilities, but I also think Richland is easier to find and that's part of the reason they picked there.

Is this the 6/9-AAA Championship game?
