Lets here some of the changes this year for the mountain schools. Who has got new fields or upgrades. WHo got new jerseys or so on.

Interesting thread.
Lets not limit it to just mountain teams.

Lets hear all schools who got a new look.
Most schools buy new jerseys about every four years.

Hopefully we can get some new pics.

East Ridge is going back to Navy on Navy with Columbia piping and white numbers. Helmets will display the classic ER spear logo.

After playing for the last 56 years at a middle school field (completely open air pressbox with no closable windows) that players had to walk to, Elizabethtown has a new on-campus turf stadium complete with 307,000 scoreboard/videoboard. The field E'town is no longer using is still intact, but every fall, it hosted football (varsity, jv, freshman, middle school and youth league), soccer (boys' varsity, girls' varsity, boys jv, girls jv) and marching band.

The turf looks slightly "yellowish" every other 5 yards, is this by design ? Other wise, very nice field.

I'll kind of miss the old stadium (although I think I could end up there every now and then).

As Elizabethtown is one of the two main schools I follow, Doug Smith Memorial Stadium (old field) is within walking distance of me. Press box sat close to field (no track). Press box was long (you could have both coaching staffs in there, two radio stations, tv station, newspaper, etc.), so you had plenty of space. It was wide too, and on game day, usually had a buffet/potluck in the back of the press box. Also had an upstairs in case you really had a lot of people.

I've been told the new stadium as 4G wifi (old stadium didn't have any internet) AND a "skytrack" camera option.

Bad thing is with all the high-tech stuff, Elizabethtown doesn't have a TV Production class like neighboring Hardin County Schools.

Good news is E'town has something called the KSBN - Kentucky Sports Broadcasting Network. They stream games live, audio and visual, online for basketball and football (and occasionally soccer). At my suggestion, the school is looking into streaming the KSBN feed (at least for video) into that megascoreboard.
