ATT/Cowboys Stadium in Arlington
NRG/Texans Stadium in Houston
The Alamodome in San Antonio
AT&T is (marginally) nicer than NRG. They’re both nicer than the Alamodome.
I would prefer a rotation, simply because NRG is really close, and SA is half as far as AT&T for me.
I understand the ppl who prefer aT&T and I also get the attendance thing in the lone sample, but NRG really hasn’t been given a real chance to compare against.
Bottom line, if I lived closer to dfw, I would prefer AT&T too.
I don’t think fans and players care too much about the distance. If my team is playing, I’m there no matter where it is. It’s the casual fan who has no dog in the hunt who has to decide on driving or not
I picked Alamodome - is 99 miles
NRG is 209 miles
AT&T is 185 miles
Alamodome is closest - would be least expensive - possibly take in 1 all day of games of 4A - could drive to in the am - take someone with me to drive home (while I sleep).
Been once to AT&T- had nephew on Georgetown Eagles team in 4A final. Rode a charter bus from Georgetown to stadium, they played first game, watched it, 2nd game, about half of last game - had to leave, bus had TV, so watch rest of that game. It was all OUTSTANDING !!!!!
I know there are those that would go no matter where - who was playing, or what it cost and a few would take them all in .
If my team was in the final and it was rotated - would probably be at farthest away that year, but I would go.
Doesn't really matter to me where they are played if on TV.
Years ago many games played in the Austin area. That worked great for me. Got to see the Austin Reagan SC games a couple of times. One was against the great Odessa Permian teams.
