St. Joseph and Missouri Western to host Football State Championships
- Thread starter HoopsTournament
- Start date
Maybe MSHSAA said " hey let's put this out in the boonies so we can get more suckers to pay for the horrible broadcasts!"
Imagine a thread getting diverted to discus the finer points of issues with Valle, Blair Oaks, 8 man and Class 1 and 2 football.
As far as I’m concerned everybody from class two on down can play their state championship game at Lathrup high school. They have a great facility there that can handle the crowd. You don’t have to worry about hotels y’all can just camp out in the local farm fields

Correct. But you essentially chose one of the farthest 11 man schools from Springfield and they're still closer than 3 of the teams that played in the state title game last year. I'm not saying it's the best, but I would think it's better than St. Joe. And I agree, I know MSHSAA doesn't care about travel or location. Heck they don't care about what times games are played, state basketball is in the middle of the week.
if you've got the right camper, there is no such thing as primitive!
Campers waiting for the state championship games
Ahhh yes, primitive camping and football. Yet I'd avoid fishing in Clay County; very lame from what I hear.
Uncle Rico would make a great Doc Guy. I miss Stef. He was good about letting other documentary stars know about MoSports

IF we ever make it, it will be insane wherever it is. That's a huge if btw.

What is the reason for having all the classes at one facility? Why not have it at different sites? There must be a reason.
It's nice for those that want to watch several games. Idaho had football and basketball championships at different locations.
But really how many fans do that. Probably more did when the dome was used but not as much now. A casual fan is less likely to watch all the games in December Missouri weather. Have three sites like they did the Covid year so fans could see a second game if they wanted to stick around.
I have no idea if the dimensions would work. I don't know a lot about soccer, but the new KC Current Stadium appears from a distance to be a perfect field for high school football state championship games.

I wonder about the dimensions of the field? Would there be enough room on the sidelines?11,500 seating capacity
Soccer fields are wider than football fields. They played the d2 national championship at Children's mercy.
Grass field is the problem at the KC Current Stadium. Too many games in December on grass is not good.
Yes...Jeff City High School hosted 3 state championship games during the COVID year 2020

Ironically, St Joe will also be hosting the volleyball state championships at their civic center atena
Went to some HS basketball playoff games and holiday tournaments there back in the day. That arena has been around for a LONG time. Or it feels like it.
Volleyball championships get moved from Cape Girardeau to St Joe. Good lord. LOL
