FHSAA 6A Finals, Citrus Bowl

I saw Armwood Seffner (#2 nationally) beat Miami Central (#11) on Saturday for $12 ($10 for parking). I was one of maybe 100 locals there. Armwood barely filled their lower section. Miami could have filled the lower and upper sections if half of their fans weren't smoking weed by the food stalls at any one time (good job OPD). Shame on Orlando and shame on Armwood. Where is the love? Tampa is way closer than Miami, you have a nationally ranked team and you aren't using stolen credit cards to finance the trip. Why nobody from Orlando ever goes is a mystery to me. Does Orlando have that much going on that this can be poo pooed? It's not like it is a secret at this stage. I beg the people who hold this event to move it. I would be disappointed, but, it is ridiculous that people around here don't support it. I feel bad for the kids. Maybe some shuttle buses from downtown would help. The area is scary and maybe parking would be less away from the bowl. You could also then get in two games (by going to downtown in between) instead of one and the parking hit could be amortized over two spectacles. Maybe having it on TV is killing attendance? Maybe you need a blackout?
