Until no one ever comes when you have to pay to watch a Jamboree, they will continue to charge. If I wasn't working, I'd be right there Friday.

I just won't go to another benefit game since the one we had against Chilhowie that we won and didn't win a regular season game! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own I guess but I think it's stupid and I would never pay unless it was game like things going on like a benefit What's next? Charging to come watch a team practice?

Jason 299 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I used to love going to VA High for the jamboree they would hold. I think it was $5 and teams started playing around 11 that morning and lasted until after dark. Several teams would show up and you would get to see two varsity quarters and one JV quarter per matchup. Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charging to come watch a team practice? I've never been charged to attend a scrimmage, but I've always had to pay for Jamborees. However, the Jamborees split the money among the participating schools, so, in essence, it's like a benefit game. You just play 2 teams for 1 half each instead of 1 team for 2 halves. The entertainment I get is worth the $5 or $6. Ryan4VT, Bigrhsfan and SXSW 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I believe it's crazy to pay for a scrimmage. But if I had to pay to watch it, I would. I wouldn't let a few dollars keep me from attending. SXSW, Union_Fan and Bigrhsfan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess you're right...it's been many years since i've been to an actual jamboree...and I didn't know they split everything equally either Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Also, there are fees to pay to officials Im sure the school would like to cover for jamborees/scrimmages. Bigrhsfan and Ryan4VT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbgfan 855 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 The best jamboree (back then it was called the grid-o-rama) was at Mitchell Stadium. It was an all day event, with multiple teams, local and out of area playing. Not sure when last one was--maybe around 2006 or 2007. If you had the chance to attend, it was worth the price of admission and basking in the sun.

Mayo I think was the qb's name? I feel like I remember watching Gretna play there too when they were dominating TripleThreat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Rockbridge was there one year. I cant remember if Gretna was there for the grid o rama or if it was just the regular season matchup they had with Graham. EH31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason 299 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I was thinking Gretna was at Mitchell twice. One playoff game and one regular season game. Playoff was 03 or 04? Regular season 08? olewave and bigcotton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think final score was 28-7. Reed had a 60 yard TD on their first play. Taymon also had a 50 yard TD along with a pick 6. Allen had a 10 yard TD. This coming from Facebook post I saw. bgibb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
