Uil Football Championships on the move(No Jerry's World in 2015)

[Skilled95]

They should pick neutral sites like they use to do it.

All about the $$$$$

[Guest ECBucFan]

Initially, I was not sold on the concept of central sites. Looking back though, I remember having to choose between games, and/or making trips like seeing Brenham/Aledo on a Saturday afternoon then making a hasty drive down I-35 to see Abilene/Katy that evening. In retrospect, central sites are better, allowing for more games to be attended in a single trip. 

With that said, there is NO DOUBT the sites should be rotated. D-FW has enjoyed a home field advantage too long now. It HAS made a difference in the very close wins by their teams. It is a disservice to the fans and teams around the state to have the MetroPlex monopolize our State playoffs. Glad to see it move (at least) this year!

As a fan it might be a great concept. As a team and a player its NOT!!!! Just my opinion. 

[prepballfan]

This is wonderful news WONDERFUL!!!! Its about time it moves. Houston will be a great venue. If you dont think its any good then just do not go!!!!!!

@ahverdejo: According to @MarkBermanFox26 report, 10 #txhsfb championship games coming to NRG Stadium on Dec. 17-19.

[Alpha Wolf]

So since Central will go Division 1 5A, they will be playing the first game on the 19th...

​bold. 

 

Lol

I think CE King will have something to say about that.

[Cougar14.2]

I actually think NRG will set a new attendance record for the title games.  There will probably around 50k attend from the Houston area alone vs the 50k in Dallas where 30-40% are from outside the area. 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Now this smh 

 

@ahverdejo: Just got off the phone with folks at NRG Stadium...nothing official yet with UIL FB state games coming to Houston on Dec 17-19. #txhsfb

Yeah, that's what mine said too: 

@Matt_Stepp817: No surprise #UILState giving Houston a one year audition if the crowds are small it may just be a one year trial #txhsfb

​Yeah, yeah, it looks to me like that statement is a set up for an excuse to move it right back to Jerrys next year. Jerry himself is adamantly saying "The move to Houston is NOT part of a rotation". He Is really stressing that. Believe me, Jerry will not stand for a rotation where different venues share equally. Jerry is furiously working this issue behind the scenes...

​he is probably behind the delay.

Its set. See yall in Houston! 

[sbparent]

Big D was always too far for me to drive to a game so H-town is a much better option.  Does one ticket get you in for all of the games for that day or do they clear the stadium after each game?

[Alpha Wolf]

I think CE King will have something to say about that.

Just made reservations for all 3 days...

​One ticket should do it. Thats always been the format at Jerrys. I cannot imagine Reliant  NRG attempting to clear the stadium between games. It would cause a massive uproar, and might even be logistically impossible.

Speaking from yrs going=watching every game for 3 straight days=$45 tickets,then parking $,on avg for 3 full days of football=concession costs=double the tickets/parking.Then comes expense of lodging.It will kindle an old flame of the astrodome days,except now a easy commute from home daily=means I prolly spend extra dollars @ the games that did go to hotels/gas.Lawd I remember the freon cylinders all painted blue/yellow w/ball bearings from those rowdy Stephenville Yellowjacket crowds=come on mid Dec,bring us a real cold front w/scattered snow flurries & no ice

Just heard on the news NRG Stadium will be using artificial  turf the rest of the season.

I think I was the only one who was excited about the games being played in Houston. I could watch them since I am flying out the next day. In Abilene I cant do that.

I also think the coaches should revolt since they are playing outdoors in a 50 year old stadium while 11 man gets NRG
