player73 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Did the UIL underestimate the amount of fans that would be attending this weeks state championship games in mansfield this next week.Jerry's world can handle the ones there but with all this talk about how many fans each team is bringing to mansfield - this could be a disaster !!

rey4464 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Alot of people were saying that the Henderson vs. Chapel Hill game should have been played at Rose Stadium...there is no way The Rose could have handled that game! 20,560 people...and that was pretty much all Henderson and Chapel Hill fans..not an influx of people just wanting to see a game...I don't know which games are at Mansfield but I hope everyone who wants to gets to see it because if the H/CH game had been at the Rose there would have been a lot of unhappy people!

flukeshot Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Well, on the bright side, at least there's another option now for people who can't get to the game or get tickets to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sackem Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 In my feeble opinion all championship games should have been played in the 3 domed stadiums in the state. That would be kind of hard to do with someone at Mainsfield having connections with the UIL? Tatum won both championships in Cowboy Stadium and played in the Astro Dome we were not lost in either one. Knew someone would come back and say that 2A or 3A should not play there. This is a special experience and the Kids deserve the chance to play there. Might rotate, Could even wait till quarters to set who plays where determined by location.

bob cousy Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 had it been at Rose there probably wouldn't have been that many people. i'm sure it drew a ton of people from the metroplex The game would have probably drawn more people from the East Texas area than it did from the metroplex. Probably 90% of the crowd was in red and blue or gold and blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckWagon Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 a lot of folks are going to the mart game and staying all day and night.for some of us its going to be a long day!its going to be a 12 hr ordeal but hey this is texas high school football at its best. any idea if an "all day pass" is available to watch all 3 games?? I am thinking about going to watch all 3 games also. Dont really wanna have to go out the gate after each game and wait in line to repay to get back in. Hopefully UIL sales an all day pass for people wanting to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think they could rotate it between domes every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoenation Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I know Lexington and Yoe are visitors. That's a drag because Lexington should wins theirs. (they handled Refugio easy enough). Losers tend to leave early. There folks won't leave early and alot will stay for the Cameron game as the two towns are so close. Several Yoe fans have already been on the phone with the UIL about this. They will not change. They say they can add seats to fit 13,000. The problem now is parking for only 2,500 cars!

Play it at 9AM, Sat in the dome. Geeez, people want to see this. Luckly, I have a field pass. UIL needs to use all three state domes, Arlington, San Antonio, Houston for state finals in the future.

YTDogs Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 So Yoe and DF picked Mansfield back in August? No, I think he means in the future---schools can pick their dome of choice amongst the three in the state. Not bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
