LOL....I have been preaching this for years if we had to choose a spot.

As funny as it sounds UAPB’s Stadium is perfect for an outdoor championship game seating wise. Not too big or small.

This is true Kendrick....
I think Birmingham just put everything out there for free and planned on getting their money back in other ways.

Our seating capacity is about 15,000-16,000. When we played Jackson in 2012, the attendance was about almost 33,000-35,000. If there were ever to be another UAPB/JSU matchup, with us being the #1 team, there is no way our stadium could hold that size. I'm not saying the rest of the Eastern Division schools don't have a large following; however, based on what I've seen from JSU and how they can get 26,000+ on a regular Thursday night, I could see us having the SCG at our place IF Jackson State is NOT our opponent.

Yeah I’ve been to every Grambling SCG as well. Where I’m
The suggested option stems off the fact that they were going to cancel the SCG completely. If it is such a financial burden, would we not be better served to host it on someone’s campus and cut the overhead dramatically? We cannot afford as a conference to lose one of our only live nationally televised games.
It may even help with the expansion of our stadiums in the long run.
You say that for every gsu game except homecoming....

Why is the Bayou Classic a problem, Please tell us? Yet the PWCs play RIVARLY WEEKEND that same weekend and have no issues with their Championship Games the following weekend. We make more excuses than a mofo in jail who got caught red handed. I am sure Ohio State vs Michigan is a problem for the Big Ten to be ready for their Big Ten title game. Southern and Grambling fans and alums have NO DAMN EXCUSE for not supporting their team in the SCG. The BC should not be an issue. For the rest of the schools, if your team is in the SCG then BC has no impact on the SCG. If TxSU, PV or UAPB were SCG bound. The BC is of no consequence. The only people it impacts is the SU and Gram folks. And we should have no excuse. If you believe in your team. Start saving for the BC and SCG before the season.
Hell you can make the logistics easy. Just pick a West or East site and then rotate. Pick Jackson and Houston. Or B-ham and New Orleans. Or just let Chuck figure out where the best place to have the SCG and work out the rest.

In my opinion seeing a SWAC championship packed like that is EXACTLY what I want....see my post earlier. These large venues depending on the camera angle can make the game seem like a ghost town.

Duer is no longer the commissioner....time to move on.
They don't understand this G4L....they don't get that this cuts overhead and boost the host universities economy. I would even go as far as to have a certain percentage going to the host school for upgrades.

LOL..he is not blowing out the budget. However, by the time someone buys a Migos ticket, they prob good on the weekend! lol
BUT if you get sponsors, you can aim as high as you want. Houston is the best place to make the game an "event". If it's JUST the game, Jackson wins.

Let's not act brand new JR. You know good and well the curfuffle (as Judge Judy would say) scheduling the Bayou Classic Thanksgiving weekend has caused. FCS games are suppose to be finished the week before Thanksgiving. To me it makes no difference...just don't whine when your school has to play 3 games in four weeks (or thereabout).

What does that have to do with the SCG storyline. We not playing in the FCS playoffs as a conference anyway. Having a SCG killed that. Not the BC. We have been the SCG right after the BC several times. So has Gram.
No one is whining about that but schools who have no chance of even winning the SWAC. SU surely not whining about playing the BC, then SCG and then the CB if we make it that far. I welcome that opportunity as a fan and alum. Got my money ready to travel to each of those venues if we get there.

This is true but if all SWAC schools finished before Thanksgiving would that would alleviate the three big events back to back to back.
I get it though...I wouldn't give up the payday of the Bayou Classic either. Just don't whine when your team makes it to the SCG and represents in the Celebration Bowl.

The only folks whining about the BC are the losing programs that don't have a dog in this hunt and those that don't have enough common sense to budget their money for events of personal interest...

Houston is big and could not generate anymore interest than other foot print cities.
