Dutch Fork, as all the new turf field schools (Irmo, Chapin), does have stands on both sides. However, all of these schools are doing major construction projects for athletics and none are available.
Memorial stadium field is not in bad shape as rumor has it. There are a couple of worn spots on the touch line at midfield where it was worn down from football. In front of goals however there are no bald spots or worn down areas.
I also feel that the event being held in a central location of the state provides bigger attendance. When the championships were held at USC there were large crowds, lots of parking, plenty of concessions, and even though fans only sat on one side, there were never altercations between the fans. Probably the best playing surface in the state that could be the best field these players ever get to play on.
I've been to Gilbert stadium. It's a nice little complex, but have patience getting there, it is remote. SCHSL makes awful decisions.
