Cowboys1970 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I remember going to the Groveton/Alto game State Quarter-final game in 1990 at Homer Bryce Stadium. It was then a record crowd at almost 13,000 in attendance. That was something to see! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that is correct. The main thing Jerry gets out of it is PR. How many of these kids and family want to go attend a game or event at the place they played a championship game?

I know the gate receipts always go to the UIL and the participating schools get a per cent of that gate. I'm sure the UIL has to pay the Cowboys a flat rate for the use of AT&T for 4 days but I have no idea how much. Yes, Jerry and the "Boys get 100% of all concessions and parking.
