I don't know, I think we could probably make most of the requirements work. I'm pretty sure the lack of hotel accommodations and no airport probably kill our chances though.Tere North wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 1:38 pm Unfortunately, I don't think we meet the reqs to host the championship game

I beg your pardon. Macomb Municipal has a quite serviceable North/South grass turf landing strip.ST_Lawson wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 2:11 pmI don't know, I think we could probably make most of the requirements work.

Did you read the press box reqs - no way José, neither space nor facilities. And ADA is only on the east side.ST_Lawson wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 2:11 pmI don't know, I think we could probably make most of the requirements work.

That's a really nice stadium. It's too bad they couldn't partner with the FCS though, make it the same weekend as the FCS championship game and have it either in the same stadium or closer (McKinney is about 20 minutes from Frisco). That'd make for a fun football weekend and probably make it easier to draw decent crowds for both. It's not a problem right now, but someday neither NDSU nor JMU will be in the championship and attendance won't be quite so good.
