Fredom Field has a capacity of 10,280 while Challenger only has 10,000 a small difference but 280 is 280. Also freedom field is the 9th most expensive in Texas, Challenger is 10th. Freedom Field is 2 years newer. I got all this info from the wfaa ABC 8 article on August 17th 2023. A really big difference tho is the track Challenger has and Freedom field doesn't, that's very good for Freedom Field, because that means the sound doesn't have to travel as much, meaning bands will sound way louder. That's something exciting. Also the parents helping with Challenger Area can finally go see their students perform at Area, as somebody in this forum previously said, tho the Alvin parents now have to volunteer for this year's area contest, I think this a positive change.

I think being able to see the bands up close instead of behind a track is definitely a big plus from this stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also because I’m more used to performing on Freedom Field because my band was in 5A last year, but yeah…that too 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I’m from Foster and all I can say is both of our schools got some really good schools to go against up ahead (for example: Pearland) so I’m not sure but we’ll see how it goes in the end 🤷🏼♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSV-001Gamer Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I assure everyone that this is going to be a year to watch that will decide the future of this area, and it's competitors. Might be entering a new era for Area E... ChristopherRoden and JFNDOWBFAN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHornist Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 It will be interesting to see how they fit the busses and trucks for thirty 6A bands simultaneously in the Freedom Field parking lot. While the stadium is rated for nearly 300 more spectators than Challenger, the parking lot appears to be a little smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have a chance, but they will have to give their best performance of the season in prelims, and then and even better one in finals to make state. Pearland with another early finals draw but I think they will still win. Great stuff for Dawson and SFA who I hope is back at state. Really hope everyone gets a 1 because if so, they will send 6 to state (right?). Online Marcher and Sharkstan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crud 😶 As a Foster band kid, I’ll say that this is just absolutely…incredible…(that was sarcasm, I can’t italicize my text 🙁) but we’re going to give it our all- we’re already working hard and pushing ourselves over here, so I think we might be okay!
