eagle34 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 A hell of a lot more people live in Houston and a lot more going on than in Dallas.The D/FW is larger than Houston metro. You keep mentioning Dallas, but the Stadium is located in the middle of the metroplex in Arlington.Didn't see your post Uncle pig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 How in the world does Dallas have more to offer than the 4th largest city in America? It doesn't compare....and Lol at Tyler and Longview being better than Houston. If you don't think they are come down here. Houston has a big bag of nothing to offer. What City Park ? Psshhh, please give me a break, that's not even close to being the circle in Addison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveTV1 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 In the Houston city limits sure, but the metro areas are about the same size. Heck AT&T Stadium isn't even in Dallas, you might as well compare Houston to Arlington! It doesn't matter where you go in H*Town, it's an armpit, even the aquarium is a dump compared to the one in Fair Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimbodine Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 AT&T is not in Dallas, it's in Arlington. When you put DFW together, with all of the surrounding areas, it's 3 times as big as any of the cities you mentioned You posted on the Marshall/Lone Star topic that only DFW and east Texas were relevant in Texas High School playoffs. Only Katy in the Houston area. How is that working out for ya? Three times as big. You're crazy as hell. Houston is the fourth largest city in the U.S. and about to pass Chicago for number 3. I could care less about metro areas. I guess if you throw in Ft. Worth, OKC, Tulsa and anybody else then maybe it is bigger. But who gives a ####. I've lived in both places and there are better jobs, housing market, medical facilities etc than Dallas. Look it up on the U.S. census. If you're rich as hell and live in Highland Park then I guess it is OK but for the average Joe you have a hell of a better shot of being successful in Houston than Dallas. Both stadiums are excellent venues and they should rotate these games between the three cities, not just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach0001 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Why would you rotate between three when San Antonio has no venue worthy of these games?

chukslegacy Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Love NRG. Didn't have to travel but 2hrs to watch my Mustangs dominate A good Celina team. I'm sure they hated traveling that far back home after getting beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottontop Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Total attendance for 2015: 156,143 Total attendance for 2014: 250,652 The uil was mainly blaming the lower attendance on some of the new schools that were there not having the following. They blamed everything but the location of course.

YoePride88 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 "Attendance has been way down" and "Tomorrow is what counts - the big schools." THANK you, guys - EXCELLENT job MAKING MY POINT about how UIL caters to bigger division schools and their fans (read: "their MONEY") The UIL needs to SPLIT UP the state championship sites so that MORE fans of the smaller division schools can attend the games. I don't know if anyone noticed the crowd Cameron Yoe brought to their 3A game, but that was about 3/4 of the crowd they WOULD have had if the game had been on Friday night or Saturday. And these fans who can't make it to Thursday games or Friday day games because of jobs - It may be the only chance they ever GET to see their teams in a title game. C'MON, UIL!

collincountyfootball1 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 The problem with the attendance had to do with a combination of a few new schools making it to state in the larger divisions. Those schools have been up around 5-6 years and barely have an alumni base. And also the Houston locals seemed to not come out and enjoy the weekend like the Dallas locals. DFW teams traveled similar to how the Houston teams traveled to Dallas in the last few years. Houston can't blame having 94,000 less people on the Dallas teams not traveling, Houston locals have to come out and support if they want to keep rotating with AT&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to bash on Houston but their traffic is a little bit harder to maneuver than the Dallas traffic, and that probably has to do with houstons population being bigger. But I was in traffic leaving Houston all the way till I got to the Woodlands it was rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
