Title: Friday Night Lights movie and Manhattan, KS
Post by: Meatbag on December 29, 2007, 11:27:38 AM

The school and the city
Permian is portrayed in the movie as a single large high school in a small, one-horse town in West Texas. In reality, Odessa was a city of nearly 100,000 people at the time of the events portrayed in the movie, and is part of a metropolitan area of nearly 250,000 combining the populations of Midland and Ector counties. (The quaint downtown shown in the trailer for the movie is actually Manhattan, Kansas.

Sorry for that, I am usually a good two years behind when it comes to K-State football.
