IHSA High School Playoffs will be played @ Hancock Stadium from 2023-2027
These parents should definitely fill a brewery on an otherwise dead holiday weekend with students gone. Many will eat calzones, too.This is just fantastic !!!!
Nice job ISU Admin folks .. this will help the school, the campus, and all the sports programs .. certainly the football program more than the others, but all ships should rise some.
Just fantastic !!!
yes ihe did ... though he also liked the U of I alternating years concept.EdgyTim really showing the love for ISU in this video.
Even if the deal they cut breaks even each year for ISU hosting, BloNo will make some money. And ISU still comes out ahead with all the favorable visitor and TV publicity ... and recruiting !!!Maybe the extra revenue generated will help towards some donations from the city to finish the other side. Not saying it will fund the whole thing, but you know every penny helps.
thisWhen I attended the Return to Horton game yesterday it reminded me of the importance of "right sizing" events. Bigger is not always better. Memorial stadium in Champaign was a big, mostly empty cavern. When you have fans sitting all around you and you hear the roar coming from the other side it changes the atmosphere of the game. A full to mostly full venue brings the electricity and excitement to a new level. Hancock Stadium is the right size for the state football championships.
