They could have saved that $300 + the expense of holding the election if they'd play during the daylight hours. Or would that count against their ADA monies...

It's high school football in Texas.

Playing in the daytime is for the Freshman squad.

They could also fully embrace socialism and have the eco-friendly dark night skies nationwide.

Just use a lighted foot ball, and uniforms.

It’s Wimberley, if they played football in the daytime in August or September, kids would die.

Up until a week or so, we had 50 days of over 100 degrees.

Can’t obscure the night sky for two hours to play a football game, eh?

My understanding regarding light pollution is to cover the top of the light so that it is directed down to the ground and not also directly up. This concept has been around for long time but too many lights are still a bit omnidirectional.

I have a 10-inch telescope, well, we have several. Light pollution is a big issue.

Just turning off unnecessary lights would help a lot and also save lots of money as well.

Black lights and glow strips on the uniforms.

Hey this is Texas high school football, it’s a wonder they didn’t vote to build a domed stadium
