Amarillo ISD changed the venue for Friday night’s rivalry football game between Amarillo High and Tascosa to Bain-Schaeffer Buffalo Stadium in Canyon.
The two teams were scheduled to play at Dick Bivins Stadium on Friday, Sept. 23, but the AISD administration decided to switch venues because the game falls on the last weekend of the Tri-State Fair.
AISD Athletic Director Brad Thiessen said the four districts in District 5-2A drew for their football schedules back in February.
Thiessen said they expect between 10,000 and 12,000 fans at Friday’s game.
“It holds about 9,000 and they figured with about 3,000 and standing room all the way around, we anticipate that that’s about what we’ll have. So we think it’ll be fine. The end zones will open up if we need to,” Thiessen added. “It’s going to be a crazy stadium. So the atmosphere is going to be pretty neat.”
