...where will they have track meets then? Haha. I feel like the video board should be on the opposite end that's not facing the setting sun because football games are at night and the board will be hard to see and I think it's really far away from the field and stands.

They can have track meets somewhere else, haha! Yeah I agree, it is way too damn far from the field and stands, they should have maybe installed at the endzone next to the scoreboard at the opposite end, oh by the way, is 21-0 the final score? Because I wanted to read the recap online but I see that some different scores that is 21-14 and 28-7 so I was confused

Hmm..maybe it was 21-14? I'm not 100% sure. I left early to avoid the traffic and stuff. Sorry!

Ahh, it is cool

How many commercials do they show on that new board?

No commercials at Moore War. There was a little feature on football being a passion and stuff but that's pretty much it. They didn't do much with it. There's only one camera right now and it's in the pressbox. Yesterday they occasionally showed plays from the pressbox and pictures of the football players, along with some very bad and cheesy graphics promoting Moore Football. Oh and they also showed current scores from other games across the state. I thought that was pretty cool.

Could the scoreboard be any farther from the field?

It doesn't look and farther away than any other stadium in town with a board. I don't understand why people are so against having a track too. I believe UCO is the only place that doesn't have one....and they used to. They didn't add seats to bring them closer either. Do you really need to be able to reach out and touch a player at a high school game? I'm not sure what happens at your games, but there's all kinds of stuff that goes on at ours ON the track.

Why are people against having a track? Do they want get rid of track and field. Moore Stadium is the district's multipurpose facility.

Before next year, there will be a new second deck added to the south stands and a new press box on the south side. The south side will become the home side. The field will also have new carpet/turf before next season.

Sabercats rule.

Stadium has a lot of needs. Stairs to the platform above the press box, for one.
Better vantage point for videotaping.

When you cheat and aren't punished for it, you will continue to cheat(recruit). See southmoore.

It's not like Southmoore is the only school that recruits.

They probably do recruit not on the scale of say a Jenks or Union but it probably isn't real hard to convince parents to move to the Southmoore district from the Moore district..Pretty easy sell IMO

Southmoore was in a different situation for a while, and it's the district's fault. They allowed students to pick where they wanted to go. The same thing happened when Westmoore opened, and the same arguement of "cheating" came out then too. With the staff moving from two schools, of course they asked kids if they would come to the new school with them. It happened in almost every activity the school has. Was it cheating? No. The district was very clear about it...kids got to pick. And in some cases, they still do as they pick their high school. After a few years, when the numbers have all settled in, we'll see it all lock back down and all this will go away....until Northmoore gets built...hahaha.

Honestly, I think once the new middle school gets built, we'll be done with this. They'll divide the schools with 2 to each high school and adjust the lines accordingly for numbers.

They're going to expand it? I mean, yeah it overflows when the MPS schools play each other, but it's usually only half full for all other games.

Attended the SM vs Norman game last Friday. Got to see the improvements up close. The new lighting is really good. The poles are way high and it's very bright so it covers all areas of the field well. The visitor stands are much better with the benches and aisles. The scoreboard is pretty monstrous, and it is LOUD. I could hear the pre-game announcements over a mile away near the RR tracks. They played a pregame video to fire up the fans but it had a lot of feedback and ended up just hurting your ears.

That new sound system is off the charts good.
