North Crowley probably had the best individual crowd of anyone at the games.....Westlake's crowds are always mediocre...as was Vandegrift...it was really the 2 5A games that killed the crowds...

The time we played against Westlake in 21’ in Katy they traveled extremely well.

Attendance numbers will fluctuate from year to year no matter where the games are played.

Teams playing

College games

Pro games

Rising cost

etc....

Rotate. The UIL charter says a domed stadium. That leaves 3 I believe. NRG, Dallas, and the Alamo dome. Houston is asking for either upgrades or a new stadium. We spent probably close to 1k going to see PNG play 2 seasons in a row. 2 nights hotel stay, food, gas. tickets, and the filthy high prices inside Cowboy stadium. Stupid high prices. .

You have to put it in a dome... However, people are going to be shocked when they realize that parking and concessions are just as high at NRG and the Alamodome. 🙃

I no longer go to ATT because the traffic just before Christmas is a mad house. I travel 28 miles to the Stump Restaurant at Sam Rayburn Dam and eat a good meal (or you can have a drink) and watch  all the games on FanDuel Sports .Two large TV screens.

It's true although I can't explain on how we've been playing as of lately.

Cost vs watching it at home on TV.

[BADSANTA]

Much cheaper to stream or watch on TV.

They need to alternate between Dallas and Houston just to see if attendance picks up.

Dallas won't travel, so they get rewarded with home games.

Like many have said it should be rotated. That being said, it will lower attendance, why travel further when the next year it would be closer. The high school football fans in the areas will just go every other year.
