Got it: 

Any other stadium news??

I’ve create d a stadium database for your cellphone. This is strictly a “Beta” version since I’m really out to the limit of my web knowledge. Try it, if it does not work for you let me know and tell me what kind of mobile device you were using and I’ll try to make it work.
This stadium database only has the bare essentials. It has just enough to get you to the game.
Here is the link http://texasbob.mobi
Thanks!

Just let me know.  All I ask is when you're estimating seating capacity don't give me a standing room number and dont be a homer and tell me that it is bigger than it really is.  All the information on the stadiums are true as reported.  That does not mean it is correct.  All you have to do is put your corrections on this form: http://www.texasbob.com/stadium/forms/stadium_frm.php

It's a long form but you dont have to fill it all out.  BUT you do have to put the stadium name, city, your email and the things you want to update.

Thanks
TexasBob

I'll be there.  It should be a great game.  I'll also be getting a new picture for the stadium listing.  I'm looking forward to seeing the new stadium. (with the funny name)  I'm sure it will be great. 

Update your stadium listing!  It is that time of year.  I’m polishing up Texas Bobs Stadium Database for the 2009 season.  I’ve redesigned the listings and have more pictures and more stadiums than ever before.  If you are lucky enough to have a new stadium or a major renovation, let me know. 

Go to this link:

Find your stadium using the map or the search.  If the information is not correct just click on the “Update Stadium Listing†link located under the picture.  If your stadium doesn’t have a picture or needs a new picture, send it to me. 

Thanks for your support.

It would be nice if someone would go to this link:

and fill out the information about this new stadium.  I will go ahead and publish it as "Under Construction" until it is finished.

Thanks

On hawk stadium it says No on soccer... but we play soccer there... lol...

Easy to correct

TexasBob, you need to update your data on Tiger Stadium in Silsbee. There was an addition of about 800 seats to the homeside, a half horseshoe if you will, 2 years ago. The picture you have on your site doesn't show it, looks like a picture from the first year it was opened, 2000. The capacity should be close to 10,000 now.

I'll take care of that. 

Let me give you folks a little update:

Each year in July I work on my football stadium database. I usually try to update the information about each stadium and if possible make some type of improvement to the listings. For example, one year I added 1100 Google Map listings, another I added additional details like does the facility have a track or soccer capabilities etc.

This year I have completely redone the way the web page works. I have done it all in a MySQL database with PHP dynamically generated web pages.

This year I will maintain both the old system and the new. At first glance the main page looks the same, but as you dig deeper you will notice the difference. For example in the new system each stadium has its own web page and a larger stadium picture. (if available)

The old database: http://www.texasbob.com/football/index1.html

The new database: http://www.texasbob.com/stadium/

Most of the data and pictures that I have comes from you the fans. I appreciate you support and look forward to you continued input (corrections) and feedback.  Also as you can see stadium pictures are more important than ever.

thanks texasbob...

I am a math teacher and appreciate the more "accurate" estimate.

One of my activities is to show pictures of football stadiums and have the 8th graders calculate the maximum capacity.

Horseshoes, Hand granades, and Stadium Capacities, close is what it's all about. 

For inquiring minds....

To find out "about" how many people a stadium can hold...

Every yard of stands can seat about 2 people.

So...

The "average" stadium in the Beaumont area is goal line to goal line (100 yards wide) and 26 rows high (A to Z)

100 x 2 = 200 (people on 1 row)

200 x 26 = 5200 (total number of people)

So most 4A and 5A stadiums in the Beaumont area seat around 10,000 (5,200 x 2)

The new staduium in Dayton is about 50 yards wide and will be 58 ROWS HIGH!!!

There are more aisles in this stadium if you look at the pictures in bronco1's topic so that will affect the formula, but...

50 x 2 = 100

100 x 58 = 5800

There will also be a section of fold down seats so that will decrease this number.

The other side of Bronco stadium can seat around 3,000.

So when the stadium is finished it should hold between 8,000 and 9,000 people.

I do believe the 58 rows at this stadium will be the highest of any stadium in this part of the state.

That's pretty close to the formula that I use but I believe 24" per person is a more accurate measurement. 

100 x 3 / 2 = 150 (people on 1 row)

150 x 26 = 3900 (total number of people

I have count well over 300 hundred stadiums around the state and many times compared it to actual counts and it is amazingly close.  When you use this formula you don't have to deduct for ramps and other anomalies.  It gives more of a "Butt on the bench" count.

At the end of the day unless you spend several hours with pencil, paper, calculator and binoculars, it’s an estimate.
