What is the biggest High School Gym in Kentucky? in Eastern Kentucky it has to be KCC's Morton Combs Athletic Complex with a MAX of 5,000 not counting standing room. is there any bigger?

[alfus21]

It probably is the biggest in Eastern Kentucky, but not close as far as statewide goes. I know Mason County Fieldhouse holds 6,200

[Tomcat68]

According to the KHSAA:

The largest in Kentucky is Mason County with their 6200.

Using a more strict criteria of Eastern Kentucky:
Knott County Central - 5000
Boyd County - 5000
Greenup County - 5000

Just on a side note for football stadiums:
DuPont Manual - 11463

Was getting ready to say KCC's gym. Mason County's gym is something to see!

I dont know the exact number of capacity but i think if u let the top bleachers down at Pike Central's it'll hold quite a few. I'm not quite sure is theres top bleachers on both sides or not. I also think Sheman Neace was a big gym in capacity size. Clay County has a nice big gym, I loved it when we played there in high school. Those are my opinions but I'm sure there's bigger gyms around here.

Allen Central has a big gym

Knott Co's gym sure doesn't look like it would hold 5,000 people.

[Wyatt Earp]

I believe that many of the gyms are not accurate when it is stated they have thousands of seats. I do not think that KCC has that capacity and Clay County either. What size seat do they compare the seats with? KCC does have one of the bigger gyms however 5,000 is alot of people in their seats. South Floyd has 2200 but there is no way.

Ac has a big Gym,so does Pc

How many does Shelby Valley hold?

In the 14th regional toury last year at KCC they sold a little over 5,000 tickets for a couple of games.

Yeah, Mason Co's gym is really special. When you walk in you can just sense the tradition, it's like walking into Assembly Hall. The school could sure use some updated restrooms though

Allen Central

I can tell you one thing those are def wrong b/c their is NO WAY POSSIBLE that Allen Central seats even close to 4,300 ppl even at that more than Pike Central's gym...You can fit 4,200 in Pike Centrals gym comftorably in allen centrals gym you would be luck to be able to breath lmao...

Personally I think AC looks bigger than PC's but thats just me. When they pull down the top Bleechers at AC it could eaisly fit 4,300. Both have very nice facilities, I could be wrong though.

[Moe]

I do agree that Knott Central has one of the biggest facilities and proabily the biggest in EKY. Sout Floyd has a nice facility also.

[kcc_50]

In my opinion i think that kcc has one of the biggest gyms in this area

Prestonsburg Fieldhouse has a capacity of 4,500.

Other ones not mentioned:

Paintsville- 2,000
Perry Central- 4,895
Letcher Central- 3,500
Phelps- 2,220
Pike Central- 4,200
Johnson Central- 3,500
Belfry- 2,400
Sheldon Clark- 3,500

[mcfan1]

If Paintsville's gym holds 2,000, then Knott Central holds 15,000.
On the KHSAA website they have Magoffin;s gym at 2,000, I think it's capacity is 3,000.

That's by todays fire marshall standings. Back in the day (oh no hear I go again) they packed as many as could be put in the P'burg fieldhouse and it went over 5,000. But no it wouldnt have been very safe had a fire broke out.

Prestonsburg also had a big set of bleachers on the stage and they were always full for the tournaments at the end of the year. The 15th had the regional there every year.

[kyr450]

Belfry holds more that 2400 people, when it was built it was suppose to be one of the biggest in the region... I may be wrong but im pretty sure they said it would seat 5000 people...

I know u can get more people in Cordia's gym than 200 and I know you could never get 300 in Riverside. Wherever you got those numbers they're a little off.

[EKY Sportster]

Boyd Co., Greenup Co., KCC, Perry Co. Central, Prestonsburg, Allen Central, Johnson Central. Personally, I think that Boyd Co. and KCC are the largest that accomodate people best.

[firetubbyplease!]

What about the Betsy Layne gym?
