POLL: Where would you rather have the State Championships? ATT or NRG or Alamodone?

Cowboy stadium baby!

There's plenty of quality football being played all around the Houston area to San Antonio and Central Texas to consider a rotation with Reliant. Not sure about Alamodome with the parking issues.....but it's certainly big enough and UTSA plays their home games there. Reliant dropped the ball when they sponsored it, but it takes a few times to get the fans attending and some experience running the schedules.

I moved to Dallas from Houston in 2015 so Arlington is ideal logistically. Funny that year I still had to drive 250 to see the games. I also noticed if there are fewer Dallas area teams playing, Dallas fans won't travel down like Houston fans will upwardly. Now if somehow they could take the downtown San Antonio atmosphere, combine it with the street layout near Reliant and the amenities of AT&T Stadium, then we're cooking!

We’ve won at both AT&T and NRG. I obviously would much prefer NRG as it’s an hour and 45 minutes away compared to 6 hours going north.

Arlington makes the most sense for the following reasons:

1. UIL likes AT&T because Jerry gives them a deal.
2. NRG is so very far for West Texas teams.
3. Alamodome is not as nice.
4. Attendance is strong with population density around DFW.

Bottom line is that a rotation could work but NRG and Alamodome are going to have to come on board with the low rent!

Essentially the same thing I've said about it. If others want NRG and the Alamodome to be considered, or in a rotation, they need to get to work on low rent and accommodations.

Honestly, it's much closer for me to travel to AT&T, and to me it's the nicest stadium out of the three, but I would travel ANYWHERE if my team were playing for a state championship.

No brainer, AT&T is the only place to have it.
Houston traffic enough said.
San Antonio why.
When some say to make it fair, it has always been flip and argue. Not anymore.

AT&T
Yearly attendance confirms why.

Why? What has attendance got to do with it?

I would guess attendance would be one of the measuring sticks used in determining playoff locations. Do you feel that it has nothing to do with it?

As far of ease of drive from my house:

Alamodome (easy)
NRG (pretty easy, until you hit Katy)
Jerryworld (long, soul-crushing drive on I-35)

And I still think it should be in Jerryworld, every year.

The only Dallas area teams playing that year were a brand new 5A Mansfield school, Argyle, and Celina, and Celina had more of a crowd than WOS.

Attendance is another way to say money. That's not what HS sports should be about. The greedy and selfish people will turn it into the same pathetic cesspool of commercial drek they turn everything else into. Students, and Fans of the teams involved are the only attendance I'm concerned with and the opportunity to attend should be the same for all. That's not close to the case without rotating.

UIL is all about the $$$. Plus, Jerry Jones likes ho$ting, so that combo will keep the championships at AT&T for awhile. It is an amazing, well run venue. Love it.
