anybody know the seating capacity for the visitors section at Eastern Alamance?
I saw on one website that the capacity is 4,000 overall, and the NCHSAA requires that for a 3A school that they must be able to seat at least 1,500 on the home side and 1,000 on the visitor side. If Havelock was concerned about seating, they needed to register their complaint by Monday of this week.
The following is from the
NCHSAA Handbook - 2013-2014 pg 82
4.5.4 Playoffs (General Requirements, Checklist, Officials, Press Conference, Sites)
(a) Minimum Seating Requirements are as Follows:
Class 1A — host 1000, visitors 500;
Class 2A— host 1450, visitors 750;
Class 3A — host 2000, visitors 1000;
Class 4A — host 2500, visitors 1500.
(1) The Executive Committee has authority to move a playoff game when
the circumstances are perceived to warrant such action even if the host
school meets the minimum seating requirements.
(2) If additional seating is required to meet the above standards, the
expense shall be that of the host school. A $1000 penalty shall be
imposed on schools failing to meet seating requirements.
(3) If the visiting team has a complaint regarding the playing facility, it
shall be registered by noon on the Monday preceding the game. In the
event of such a complaint, the President of the Board of Directors shall
have the authority to appoint a committee of three members of the
Board to investigate the facilities. This committee shall be vested with
the full authority to set the site for the game.
(4) If a neutral site is selected, the representatives of the two playing
schools shall meet with a representative of the school furnishing the
neutral field to agree on game management.
