We believe that the Thursday Night Lights games are a great way for the community and schools of Simcoe County to get together and enjoy a great game of football. The enjoyment that comes from building school spirit and participating in this fantastic community event should not be taken away from the students, parents and athletes due to the foolish actions of a few people.
If TNL does return, to ensure the safety of those participating in future games, we believe that there should be a larger police presence at these events, even if it means paying a few dollars for admission. All the remaining money (after paying the police) would go straight back to the school's athletic program.
And above all, we believe that Thursday Night Lights should be given a second chance.
The school board is still hiding behind excuses while our local tradition withers away. They act like a few rowdy individuals justify killing an entire community event for everyone else. We refuse to let their cowardice be the final word on this.

The momentum behind this is undeniable and the school board can no longer pretend we are going to just let this go. They took away our tradition for no good reason and now they have to answer to all of us.

I really miss the atmosphere at these games. It was the only time the whole town actually felt like a community. Pay the cops extra and lets get back on the field.
