State Championship Site

**SHSBulldog00** · 09-29-2009, 11:18 PM

Do you like what 5A has done with a pre determined site that changes every year or how we do it (site is based on the teams)?

I don't like the predetermined site idea. I like it the way it is now that lets the teams decide.

I have always thought there should be roughly 10 sites that can house a state championship, and then the two teams can decide which one of those sites to play in. My reasoning is because one year I rmemeber MArshall playing Highland park at rose stadium, and the game should have been played at a bigger place.

Site to be determined

Yep, Marshall won the toss and chose Tyler's Rose Stadium. HP had Texas Stadium reserved, but Marshall balked at playing on the other side of HP (can't say that I blame them.) There really wasn't anything suitable in between the two communities. I for one like the predetermined site. Think it would be even better if all Championship games are played at one site. 1 on Friday night and 4 on Saturday. Make it a huge festival type atmosphere. Don't necessarily play the games in succession of A to AAAAA, mix it up and have the class A game right before the AAAAA game so that the crowd is huge for those small town kids.

That was sooooo Hilarious!! I remember the HP boosters bought air time on several different TV stations because there weren't enough seats at the stadium. That was intentionally done by Marshall. The next year Texas High had their playoff game with HP in Shreveport La. It is all part of the fun.

In the 05 semis LE played in Texas Stadium after 2 other games from the Metroplex area. Some of their fans stayed and watched. It was like you said, festival type atmosphere.

What wasn't funny was the 59-0 shellacking they got from HP.

I think it's safe to say they didn't like what Marshall did, and proceeded to take it out on 'em in the game.

It wasn't very funny for Marshall. Matt Stafford and HP put on a passing clinic. It was nice to get to see it on TV though

Like everyone said it was real funny til HP opened up a can of whoop ass on em...that game could have easily been 80-0...not so funny for Marshall after that

**LE Dad** · 09-30-2009, 11:34 AM

There are tons of stories like HP - Marshall out there. I know LE has had issues with teams not wanting to play at night or on turf and various other BS. It is all part of the playoffs not to mention, that ticket prices would probably go up. UIL will no doubt get their piece of the pie increased.

Leave it alone, and let the kids and coaches have a say. It is their time to shine.

**Rabid Cougar** · 09-30-2009, 12:13 PM

They all should be played at Floyd Casey. so I don't have to drive very far to see them.

**venomous tat2** · 09-30-2009, 12:32 PM

Play them all @ one site ( A ) Alamodome ( B ) Texas Stadium
( C ) Floyd Casey Stadium change sites each year :
