Reliant in Houston is perfect. If high schools can afford to play one playoff game on a Friday night and Sam Houston/SFA can afford to play there surely we can afford it too.

We might as well put the SWAC office on our campus.
They give the hs'ers and the sfa/shsu people "special rates" that are foreign to us (PV/sTu). In other words, just like at&t in arlington, depending on who the client is, the special rates apply. Hence the reason their ticket prices are LOWERS than ours (PV/sTu) ever could be. Tix for the game between shsu and sfa are what....10$/12$ walkup day of, lower-bowl? PV, sTu, SCG... tix price day of 38-44+$ depending....

It may be a combination of the Houston Sports Authority/SWAC office. That’s a great point about ticket prices.

The SCG will be at a conference stadium unless Charles can get Houston to up their money and find a good sponsor for Houston. Its never going back to Bham.

Lone Star Entertainment is the sponsor of SFA/SHSU. Need more details on that arrangement you all have my number, lol.
I'm not privvy to the inner workings of HSA coupled w/ nrg stadium so I'm not sure who/what makes those deals out. What I found god awfully non-haha funny was the first game sfa/shsu played @ nrg and they had the entire lower bowl available for GA @ 8-12$ per seat. As part of the season pass deal @ PV and then purchasing tix for others who visited the game w/ me, I spent just slightly north of 38-44$ game day/walk up for them to sit in the nose bleed-type area. Talk about pissed...

I would love t see him do this.
1. Bring back the SCG and play it at the school with the best record.
2. Maintain the 7 game mandate but create a rotational football schedule
3. Create a mandate where our schools will not longer play the Bacone Colleges of the world
4. Punish schools for not filling a full schedule

You want to see the BOTPW contract? Here's the information... SHSU clears probably $250k (conservatively) from the game so it's essentially like getting a mid level FBS guarantee game (after expenses). SHSU has not played FBS games the last few years, so conceivably this is how they afford to do so and it's huge for alumni relations, connections, etc.

No other city would have a stadium with the capacity to make it worth the time. Legion Field sits 70k plus. Ladd Stadium in Mobile seats 34k - why would we give away a game to Mobile or any other stadium when we could put 30k in our own stadium in Montgomery plus control tailgate, parking, and concessions? The only other stadiums in the state would be Jordan-Hare in Auburn and Bryant-Denny in Tuscaloosa.

With Mobile hosting other college games (bowl games and the Senior Bowl) on an annual, maybe the MCC would be economically feasible enough for the City of Mobile to increase Ladd Stadium to 60k to 65k.

That won’t happen with South announcing their plans to build an on campus stadium.
If/when the game leaves Birmingham, it will go home and home or at the very least Montgomery and where A&M decides for their host years.
