It is not about the fans or "home crowd". It is about D/FW teams sleeping in their own beds not having to drive as much as anyone else in state. All teams want to play for a state championship not matter where it would be played. Bottom line is Houston and San Antonio would be great to play for state as well in a rotation, but that is not going to happen. Money runs in the UIL. Dallas is wonderful to play state and players and coach's dream of playing there. You made my point for me, it does cost less to play in your own back yard for the school, team, and fans.
