Yes. Pull a Minnesota or Indiana. Force them to give the OHSAA 3 day block every year for the state finals, no hosting fees. In both circumstances, the teams are gracious hosts and act as if they're willingly hosting, but they're forced by the state to do it. But they're not going to pass up a...

They only left Ohio Stadium because Ohio Stadium didn't offer them the best deal. Though, to be honest, the Canton deal was grossly misrepresentation of what they'd be paying per ticket. The reason the games moved to Columbus was Jim Tressel. He wanted it as a recruiting tactic for in-state...

Yes. All games. Just the teams need to be OHSAA.

Thought of this since Yappi was posting info about his fantasy team thread. I want to run another Last Man Standing Contest and use similar rules to what I used last year. There is one major change. And I want to run rules by you all, and see if you all have any suggestions or thoughts about the...

Are you doing this manually or going to have a form for everyone to enter their picks and tabulate the results?

There's 30 stadiums in the NFL. NFL prefers warm weather and Miami, Tampa, New Orleans, Arizona, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles are the preferred locations now and will rotate among them. SF, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, are going to get an occasional game. Northern domes will get one game during...

First ever major soccer-specific stadium in the country? First ever stadium built for an MLS team. It is what caused the building boom for all the other MLS teams playing in huge NFL and Collegiate stadiums. Overall, though, that's just what the team decided to name it when they moved to...

I looked up "Sunglasses over Sunglasses" to find it. But it's labeled as Double Sunglasses and lots more showed up under that.

The NFL doesn't do bids for the Super Bowl any longer. They just put it where they want it now. Considering the NFL would be loaning money to the Browns for the stadium it's basically assured that they'll host a Super Bowl in a domed stadium.

Yep. Then also a bowl game akin to the Motor City Bowl/Little Ceasars Bowl. Or steal the MAC Championship Game. Maybe FCS, D2, or D3 title. There's a lot of options to go after to just stack the calendar with events to have the stadium in use.

Nah. Just down there a ton.

And this is exactly why it's a dome. For all the money going to the stadium and surrounding development, they want this place used as much as possible. Being seasonal isn't really an option.

Of those that I'm aware, the only states that have 3 or more games at the same stadium on the same day, only Ohio, Kentucky, and Nebraska utilize separate tickets for each game. Every other state just charges one admission and if you want to stay you can stay. The truth is, outside of Texas...

Rockwall and Rockwall-Heath are both part of Rockwall ISD. Heath opened in 2005. Like many Texas school districts, they share one stadium for the ISD. If you head east on I-30 from Dallas, you cross the lake into Rockwall and you'll see the stadium on your left. The area south of I-30 when you...
