5A DII Championship Location

Has Fox set a neutral site?

I am assuming all four (4) coaches will talk early this week to flip or discuss possible neutral sites? Is that normally what happens or do they wait until the winners are determined? I would think they would want to reserve stadiums as soon as possible. That would be something High School Extra could cover;)

Fox doesn't have anything to do with it. The coaches decide. Last year all 4 worked it out during semifinal week. Suppose the same will occur. SV and SLC were home and home (02 and 04). Not sure what will happen. Also San Antonio's Alamo Dome has some conflicts (volleyball tourney/Saints). Katy and SLC were neutral previously, I presume that will happen again. If Lufkin and Katy win guess Outlaw would want to play at some junior high field.:D Just joking Panthers. Maybe they would play in Austin? College Station?

With well over 1000 stadiums in the state I would think getting a stadium this time a year is pretty easy. You basically have your pick of any stadium in the State as there will only be 5 games played next weekend. I know some coaches are pretty superstitious about talking about when and where the next playoff game will be, but I think most coaches when they get to this level figure they are doing their fans a favor by letting them know right after the win or before the game where the next one will be.

I know at the SV v Jay Playoff football game this year the guy who announces the Band at halftime for SV said something to the effect of "See all you Ranger Fans next Saturday at Smithson Valley Stadium at 2pm for the game" I thought it was a little brash as the game was only at half, SV had the game in hand but it was not over. But it goes to show you Hill had already made arrangements with United and he had already told the Band.

A lot of times on the sidelines I will hear from trainers and or Administrators about the next game location during the game. Sometimes they already know, sometimes they wont have a clue.
