That might be close enough to go to! Got family friends there so wouldn't even have to find a place to stay.

I really wish one of the Cowboys facilities mentioned in an earlier thread would have won the bid. I high school stadium (as nice as it is), just seems a bit amateurish.

It's only a one year deal.

I understand the issue with a high school stadium.....but I'd also challenge anyone to find a D2 stadium as nice as that district's stadium.

I realize it's only a one year deal. Do you know if the KC sports park will continue to host after their remodel? I thought that was still an unknown. Probably not many D2 stadiums that can rival the $68 million McKinney stadium since most D2 schools don't have $68 million to spend on a football stadium.

I doubt the NCAA will go back to KC now given what they did to them.

For those in the LSC, yes! To us fans up north, not as much! But still better than nothing!

I can't imagine flights to DFW are that much more expensive than flying to KC, but I haven't priced flights in a while.

If I remember right, flights from Dallas to Minneapolis last year for the playoff games cost me less than 180 round trip on Southwest, short notice and all.

I drove to KC in 2014. Driving to Dallas would be much more difficult.

Probably right on that but KC was more drivable. But first the Mavs have to make it there first ;)

I brought my tailgate with me to Mankato, and even met Laker that way.

And if you are in the championship game I bet the school offers fan buses for a decreased cost.
