    Move it to El Paso and make everyone drive. I would even bet that UTEP would probably let them have the facilities for free.

    I know it's a done deal with the UIL and Jerry, but I like college stadiums a lot better for high school football. For me, McClane Stadium in Waco would be a way nicer venue for high school football championships than Jerry's giant sport's bar. But, I guess playing indoors is a prereq. nowadays.

    McLane Stadium?? I'd vote for that!

    Don't worry.. they are tearing down Floyd Casey as I type


    And Briles would be smiling all the way to National Signing Day. They encourage high schools to play there. They have extremely cheap rental rates for such a big venue.

    Houston, what a joke of a city...


    There is only one logical place to play this game. Get it back to Jerry's World.


    Oh and Kyle Field would be a much better venue than Floyd #2. Although, Baylor's stadium is more like a high school stadium than a college stadium lol.

    Well, for starters, having it at a place that costs you half a million dollars isnt very logical at all.

    So, logically, you blame the entire city of Houston?

    McLane Stadium is the best choice imo. Places such as UT, ATM, and the Alamodome are also great choices. I'd prefer these to Jerry World and NRG, because of their central location along with adequate seating.

    But I vote that the UIL takes up that money and makes Gordon Wood a 25,000 seat stadium. We are the center of Texas after all.
