That's pretty bad. Pedo St seems like it would be best since it's literally right in the middle of the state.

At least your games are played in the Superdome.

Pennsylvania has theirs at Cumberland Valley Stadium, not Lincoln Financial or Heinz, but a glorified high school Stadium.


I know they used to be at Heinz and it fricked up the field. They need to be at venues that have otherwise hosted their last game of the season

There was a Monday night game in 2007ish between the Dolphins and Steelers that pretty much put an end to this. There were something like 8 games played on the field on Friday and Saturday, they resodded it on Sunday, and then it poured down rain all day Monday so the grass couldn't settle. It looked like no man's land from WW1.

This punt was from that game.

Still pissed I missed getting to see NGHS win the title in the new dome because of the damn snowstorm.

It’s the least the professional leagues can do for bending over taxpayers for decades and getting exemptions from clear violations of antitrust law.


In Louisiana, the high school association pays a tremendous amount to rent out the Superdome every year. It’s puts a huge hole in the budget year on and year out.

The contract stated that all of the facilities had to be staffed even if the particular section(i.e. upper level) wasn't in use(which the upper level isn't used for high school events) at the GHSA 's expense.

That’s so stupid (especially since most Atlanta United matches close off the upper level). I’m guessing that’s part of why the rental costs were so high)

Yep.

That's why Blank wasn't at fault like myself and others thought originally. I owe him a huge apology.

Whoever wrote and signed that contract should be fired.

I don’t think any high school game anywhere should have replay
