Re: Brentwood/ Franklin TN?
Hi there. Welcome to Middle Tennessee. The local soccer facilities are very nice. Good luck.
There are a couple of promising high school games. Franklin vs. Independence. IHS is located just north of the I840/Highway 31 intersection just south of Franklin. FHS is one of the top 5 teams in the state. IHS is a brand new school, with its first senior class, but features a good passing quarterback and they are 3-0 on the year. Brentwood Academy has long been a football powerhouse, but I believe they are in Chattanooga this Friday (they go a long way to get people to play them). Another good team to see is Ravenwood High (last year's state champs) vs. Brentwood High. Take the Concord Road exit off I-65 and go west. It will dead end into Highway 31. Turn right, going north, to the first traffic light and turn left on Murray Lane. It's down about a mile and only about 5 minutes from the interstate.
Be warned, however, that if you are used to very large high school football experiences (say, Jeff Davis v. Lee in Montgomery) you are in for a surprise. Most of the high schools in Williamson County have about 1500-1600 students, so everything is on a smaller scale.
Not sure about family places to see the game, but try calling Bleachers Sports Bar and Restaurant in Franklin. It's off Highway 96, a mile or two from the interstate. Despite the name, it is kid friendly. They usually have a lots of different games on and are accommodating if you ask for one in particular.
Have a safe trip.
