Latoya was probably only allowing 15 people in attendance

“LHSAA football state championships being moved from Superdome to Northwestern State University in Natchitoches due to COVID-19 capacity restrictions, financial responsibilities, and risk of cancellation.

December 27, 28, 29, and 30“

Probably good for all other teams. It should be at a central location so teams and fans can travel and return in one day.

Yeah, but you're playing in an NFL stadium... Not some small college stadium...

Those kids dream of that shite...

Latoya scaring away more potential business revenue for the city.

GHSA made the same type move away from MBS to Georgia State Stadium (formerly Turner Field), but it was for financial reasons.

Uncle Arthur wanted $600K rent for MBS and the GHSA said we can't afford that. Hasn't seemed to affect the kids so far.

All the privates in Louisiana move out of the Dome as well for financial reasons, it didn't affect play either, but who's to say they were not disappointed not getting to play in an NFL stadium..

having seen little over a dozen state title games on HS campuses and mcneese, ull and strawberry..... I think with a few exceptions when the dome had 30k plus for one game(which was very very rare... the smaller venues capture more of the "essence" of HS football and better....

The smaller venues also allow more family and friends to attend games when they don’t have to travel to and spend money on hotels in NOLA. I’d wager the kids would rather have more fans at the game over playing in the dome.

And they would probably have more fans in the stands than would have been allowed to go because of Destroya’s lockdown
