How many people are you expecting to actually stay in St. Joe? Also 25 minutes from thousands of hotels rooms by the airport.I was just about to post this.
I can’t believe they’re having it in St Joe of all places. I can’t imagine they will have the lodging to accommodate. Not to mention it’s the least centrally located venue they’ve used to host it in awhile.

This is about like Cape hosting the Volleyball State Championships. Nothing like a 7 hr drive for Tarkio a couple years ago.
If they wanted the smaller stadium, why not go back to MO State? It is at least somewhat centrally located.
Springfield is centrally located? Get the maps back out...This is about like Cape hosting the Volleyball State Championships. Nothing like a 7 hr drive for Tarkio a couple years ago.

Did they call Harrisonville? At least thats somewhat central to all the sub class .5 teams.I was just about to post this.

Keyword you forgot was "somewhat."Springfield is centrally located? Get the maps back out...
There aren't any 8 man team in eastern MO right?Keyword you forgot was "somewhat."
It would've been a 5 hour drive for Hillsboro and Valle last year. Not that 3 hours is close, but a lot closer than 5. The only region this helps is KC.
MSHSAA has zero cares about travel times.This is about like Cape hosting the Volleyball State Championships. Nothing like a 7 hr drive for Tarkio a couple years ago.

P.S> that's only 5 hours for valle to st joe.Keyword you forgot was "somewhat."

Relative to the vast majority of teams that have competed in a State Championship game over the last decade, very few are over 3 hours from Springfield. 8 of the 12 in 11 man last year would've been over 3.5 hours to St. Joe and 3 were over 5 hours.
It is Metropolis to those who live in BFE...........Springfield is centrally located? Get the maps back out...
Go back to the map and try again literally both in the corner or the damn stateThis is about like Cape hosting the Volleyball State Championships. Nothing like a 7 hr drive for Tarkio a couple years ago.

Bolivar would be better than St Joe or Joplin or God forbid, Springpatch.Go back to the map and try again literally both in the corner or the damn state
It will be a nightmare getting across the state with the planned I70 construction. I suspect Mizzou might have held off bidding on it with the planned stadium project. CoMo is the central point for the state.Springfield is centrally located? Get the maps back out...
Dear Lord the memories of that place....................Missouri S&T in Rolla holds 8000
You got that right lolDear Lord the memories of that place....................
Go back and read posts further down from the one you quoted. How many teams in the last decade that played in the State Championships have been further than 3 hours away from Springfield? Almost any team outside the KC region will be over 3 hours.Go back to the map and try again literally both in the corner or the damn state
They have plenty of hotels plus they are building two new ones right now.I was just about to post this.

By the time they have the games, there will be at least six hotels. I think that is enough.I guess if you want to drive half an hour to get to the game then ya. But if I was paying to stay somewhere for an event, I wouldn’t want an hour round trip to the stadium.
MO State is not centrally located. Ask Clark County if they think it is.This is about like Cape hosting the Volleyball State Championships. Nothing like a 7 hr drive for Tarkio a couple years ago.

BingoIt seems like they aren't that concerned with it being centrally located; I would imagine they're mostly interested in the best bid.
I still can't believe the powers that be let it get that far from StL again.Etterville is supposedly the geographic center of Missouri. Perhaps MSHSAA should consider building a stadium there for state events; use all the streaming proceeds. Call the place "The Ett."
Maybe St. Louis and Boot-heel gas stations helped sponsor St. Joe's bid.I still can't believe the powers that be let it get that far from StL again.
Also, you can tell the leader isn't from SEMO anymore
They hosted tremendous Central States Wrestling matches back in the day!!The only legitimate complaint is location. Any other complaint about this is due to lack of knowledge about St. Joe or about what the St. Joe Sports Commission has been doing recently. Like r14veer said, it was about the best bid and others need to step up if they are going to outbid Brett Esely.
SBU wouldn't be bad. UCM or Rolla probably better although I'm not sure UM Rolla has a good facility?Bolivar would be better than St Joe or Joplin or God forbid, Springpatch.
gotta consider what type of field each venue has.SBU wouldn't be bad. UCM or Rolla probably better although I'm not sure UM Rolla has a good facility?
Lincoln?
