Same with Hahnville and Destrehan's. I've only been to one Lafourche stadium that was completely filled with people in all my years; SL in playoffs 1977 vs Shaw. That year the only game Hahnville won was the SL game and SL won state. I would guess when CL and SL play each other they fill it up though, the rivalry is fierce.
The CL/SL home sides are almost always filled. Thibodaux is filled only when they winning. As far as entire stadium filled your right those are far and few between, but the stadiums are big so if we had most 5A schools stadiums it would look packed every time. HLB/CL this year was nearly filled though, and CL/SL always packed. 2009 though was the last time people overflowed to the track for that game.
I've never seen Destrehan completely filled except for a Desty/Hahnville game. Been to a handful of playoff games there in the past 10 or so years that weren't filled even the Evangel w/ Booty, Jacob Hester quarterfinal? game wasn't that packed from what I remember. Also, just curious is homecoming not that big a deal in St Charles parish? Cause we played them this year for homecoming and the home side was only a little over half filled. I'm sure they thought the it was going to be a cupcake game, but homecoming is pretty big in Lafourche and is a HUGE deal in Terrebonne parish.

It's not that big a deal at either school. They do a bunch of things all week but since the dances are on Saturday night it seems the game is nothing special to most kids.
I was suprised Friday night at the Hahnville-Alexandria game that there were so many empty seats on the home side and Alexandria brought basically no one. Of course since it was on TV that may have played a factor; along with duck and deer seasons.
Going to the games at Terrebonne stadium when we play there is really depressing. Seems like not many folks support the teams down there. Playing soccer on that field after football ends is dangerous; it gets chewed up so bad during football with all the games played on it. My son said you couldn't get a ball to roll smooth if you had to.

We also don't have schools with 3 & 4 thousand students. Some school districts have plenty of money thanks to large amounts of industry paying taxes but in many areas they can't do a whole lot to upgrade facilities.
Also in Texas certain communities break away and form their own ISD's. They sure are ok with using the roads, facilties and jobs that are located in the city. Let's just say they aren't very....diverse. So in Parishes like Caddo money gets so spread around because of the wide diversity in income/wealth.

I was surprised by Acadiana we had about as many people there as they had. I know their fans were probably expecting the blowout but still it's the playoffs. I remember in the 90's leaving school and heading strait to the stadium to stand in line for 2 hours just to sit on the visitors side for CL playoff games.
Also, their stadium looked strait out of the 50's, even had a dirt track, hadn't seen one of those before.
The Lafourche schools have no excuse when it comes to facilities and fan support.

Tom B is a terrible stadium, from the mud pit/rock hard dirt field, to getting splinters from the wooden bleachers, to the lighting. I film all the games and Tom B is the only stadium I've filmed at that I have to electronically brighten the video because the lighting is so dim.

I don't think Acadiana has upgraded anything at the stadium since the 60's. Homefield advantage.

Worst field I played on was Northside. Independence is also shitty.
