Just my opinion but I think getting the best venue, in the best city, for the most money is more important than who's stadium it is. Why would you limit your options that way?Adunk33 said:TIMMY said:It's better to play at a soccer stadium in a place called Frisco?Adunk33 said:Yep. I mentioned this a few posts ago. Its a bad look for the FCS' "end of season goal" to play at an FBS Stadium.
I think the soccer stadium is better because it's only American football identity is the FCS Championship. I'm all for it moving, but not to an FBS Stadium. I'm sure there are other pro soccer fields around the country that would be similar but in better markets than Frisco.

Not even close .. the bowl comes with rice .. totally different.

Then second is playing surface - the field in Frisco is terrible for football. It has far to much of a sandy base - that is why huge chucks of turf come and make ruts. Soccer players are much, much different than lineman, linebackers and running backs on a field. Third, is the weather - once again, the dome takes that out of the equation.

I have to disagree.....scores of empty seats suck. Makes for a watered-down atmosphere, which is why many (myself included) go to the game. Take away atmosphere and what is left as a reason to go vs watching on tv?

But I'll take Frisco anyway I can get it !!!TIMMY said:Hmmmm :think:fourthandshort said:TIMMY said:Is that like a Frisco Melt but it's in a bowl? Cause I love a good Frisco Melt.

They put it up for bid and Frisco submitted the best bid. This isn't a situation where the NCAA says, "I want to have the championship in NOLA." And then reserves stadiums and hotels. They put out requests for bids and pick the best option based on submitted bids. Host cities do a lot of the planning. The NCAA mostly just picks the teams that make the playoffs and then it plays out from there.jbird said:I recommend that everyone have a brother and sister-in-law who live in Frisco; eliminates costs of lodging. Stadium in Frisco is right size for championship game. I also think that our Texas recruiting has gone up since our appearance in Frisco;there, and Florida, are good places to draw recruiting attention. Years ago, the championship game was in Chattanooga; I wonder what factors the NCAA used back then to explain the move to Frisco.
If wanting to cut down on expenses and eliminate weather as a game factor, why not the FargoDome?
salsa said:People keep saying they should go to city A or city B as if the NCAA just picks a place and goes there. They have to get bids from places that want to host it. These championships are not huge monkey makers for most cities so an Orlando or Vegas probably has it pretty low on their interest scale. Frisco and Canton and Kansas City are likely more interested because it works better for them. St. Louis could be interested because they have a facility with no football team (although it could be busy with other events).fourthandshort said:salsa said:It just depends on who submits a bid. D2 is now in Kansas City and D3 will be in Canton, Ohio in a couple years. Not exactly warm weather states.

Yes, but I assume the bid will reflect their ability to support the bid with how much game stands to draw relative to travel budgets available. So I'm thinking the economics and logistics of that bid decicion change as you move up or down in divisions. I'm guessing the travel allowance i(air & hotel) is smaller as you move down in divisions and the venue reflects that bid decision. Cooler weather cities will have cheaper flights and hotel rates in 1st wek of January.
The other point is people were saying they wouldn't pick cold weather cities, but that's not true. Those cities gave compelling bids (and maybe the only bids) add were selected on a variety of criteria. Cheap airfare likely was not one of them because Cleveland and KC are not cheap cities any time of year.
