TxRangers2023 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Yes I love it. Jerry world is the best location 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayseed Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Don't really like being at Jerry's but the up side there is a bathroom just 16 steps from the sidelines at the 50-yardline. That's huge by halftime. True Story 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 If the UIL is going to dictate that all games are played in the same venue, then AT&T is far and away the best location. I like all the monitors everywhere, so if you have to go blead your lizard you can still see the game to and from your seat .... the food at AT&T is also far better than NRG ... 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattStepp Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I would like a rotation yes....but only AT&T and the Alamodome...Houston is too far off the I-35 corridor which is the most centrally located in regards to the major population centers.... AT&T is by far the best facility, from the amenities, to the staff that works there, locker room set up, to the way the teams are treated...its a unique and fun experience.. UIL I believe gets a 15% of the cut off playoff gates...I am sure that goes towards general operating costs of the UIL.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs3505 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Been every year to AT&T and went the one year in NRG. Houston ####. Dallas #### too but its a good location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR88 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The atmosphere is terrible at AT&T (even for Cowboys games) The huge screen that fans strain their neck to watch the whole time, the echos from the sound system (not as bad as the Star though... had a huge headache after going to a game there) But otherwise, no weather hazards and all games can be on TV Will copy/paste this each year when this topic returns.

JR88 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I agree that I wish coaches could decide where to play.... However.... since Jerry World opened, we have to admit that most state games involving a school in north Texas would select AT&T anyway. Texas Stadium had many state championships and it was a dump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattStepp Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I think the atmosphere for the HS games at AT&T Stadium is pretty good for a place that big....if you look at the way the lower levels are designed if those sections get full it creates a nice buzz..much more than old Texas Stadium...

Better food, better close hotel accommodations, better side of town, better parking, cleaner.....the list goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
player73 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Someone starts this topic about twice a year. It seems to that 8 out of 10 prefer Jerry World. I live halfway between the two stadiums and Cowboy Stadium is hands down a better place for the Championship games. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARDEDGOAT Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I went to it at Houston and at AT&T..... Houston was terrible compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacwagons Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Could be wrong here, but it seems the schools that play in it are closer to Dallas than Houston. through Dallas, Amarillo to Houston is appx. 8 Hours through Dallas. Lubbock to Dallas is 5 hours. Lubbock to Houston is 8 hours. Brownsville to Dallas is 100 miles shorter than the panhandle trip to Houston. Austin to Dallas is 3 1/2 hours. Austin to Houston is 3 hours. I would say Dallas appears to make more sense when you look at the entire state driving in. You never have to worry about a neutral site not being big enough to handle the crowds. I wonder how much the UIL makes having these games at ATT.

And it's not not just the seating capacity for the fans. It is the locker room capacity, the team that is playing has a locker room, the team that plays next also has a locker room, etc. This place was designed for this and the pull it off without a hitch.

EnjoyLife Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I like it. Having a central location for all the championship games is great for hsfb imo. I do find that huge video board at AT&T to be distracting but overall it is a premier facility. If you took a vote of all the kids playing in the title game I bet 90% of them would choose to play at JerryWorld over NRG or the Alamodome. Also, when it was held in Houston a couple years ago attendance declined by something like 93,000 from the year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88YoePride Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I don't like that lower classification games have to be played on Wed/Thu/early Fri, and those teams have to miss class/get a shorter week to prep FOR A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP game, and less of their fans get to go support their teams and enjoy the experience because they can't afford to miss work. Not fair at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signal Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I like that there on tv. I still think they should flip a coin to see where they will play. If they did then no tv. I am torn but I go with the tv don't really care where they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 The most important fact of all of this is that you know when and where to plan your trip each year (except that one). I wouldn’t care if the games were all played in Lubbock... there is no confusion when it’s a set location. Marshall vs HP in Tyler was a joke. There have been other bad venues, but play them all in 1 spot! AT&T, whether you like it or not, is a dream location for the 90+% of the kids, fans and coaches in Texas. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sackem Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 the high prices at the concession stand should have an advantage. people in front of you not getting up to go to the concession stand (fewer trips) notice some people seem to wait until the QB starts calling out signals to get up. have more interest in going to concession stand than the game ( 2 or 3 trips a game) No consideration If you have to get up time your departure until it will be less disturbance to the people behind.
