    They're expecting 15-20,000 people and Independence's stadium seats about 5,000.

    There's a college football game Saturday afternoon, and they didn't want the stadium hosting a high school game the night before and messing up the field. So they're going to play it after the college game.

    Yep. The college game is the Pioneer Bowl between JC Smith and Tuskegee, and has been scheduled there long before this playoff meeting came about. Bowl game had priority, simply because they booked first, so their field should be perfect for their game.

    They did the right thing by moving it IMO, but to jam 20K people in there for the night game with NO advance ticket sales oughta be interesting.

    Move JC and Tuskegee to Indy. They would have plenty of room.
