pied Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 This is such a crap place for this game. An ok stadium, FAR away from any neutral HS fan that may want to go. Hard to believe that nothing else was available. Assume that the rent was very cheap for the facility though.🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were in Arlington maybe but you're not getting people to drive to the other side of the metroplex on a Saturday afternoon for that. I work in FW and that is wayyyyyyy down there.

Not going to argue the prowess of SFA, but there better be a LOT of marketing for this game. They have close to zero name recognition in DFW. The location couldn’t be worse. I mean C O U L D N ‘ T B E W O R S E. Forth Worth football is terrible, so there are few locals that will go and it is barely part of the metroplex and the part people are moving from. Not going to say it’s a bad part of town, but it’s not a great part of town. Little name recognition Terrible location Opening weekend of college football Will be about a million degrees outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these games don't sell out, it'll prove that it's all just hype. Plus, it'll benefit the OOS teams if no one shows up. And Lord knows TX can't afford to go 0-2 that evening 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll bet there hasn’t been a sellout in 25 years if not more. If you want people there you should be talking this up BIG time on the 6A board. The thread about these games is mainly the guys who post here and no one has chimed in, in three months. 🤷♂️ Not exactly a hot topic. https://www.6atexasfootball.com/forum/main-forum/664975-duncanville-desoto-vs-oos-doubleheader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pied Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I’d be suspect of the going forward lol. I think you guys would be better off at Duncanville (10k) or DeSoto (11k) opposed to Clark (12k). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only responsibility was securing the two OOS teams. SFA and Jones would play their games in a parking lot if need be. They could care less about stadium size, location, band, flag girls, pomp and circumstance, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocked SFA doesn’t care about anything outside the football,that’s about all they have, right? Do they have a band? FYI - this isn’t about that, it’s about scheduling a game in what is probably the worst venue for this kind of event in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all on them if you think it'll benefit the visitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am saying is that it does t benefit the promoter with ticket sales and not to the people that are traveling who will be playing in front of a small crowd in a meh stadium in a crap environment in a sketchy part of town. Especially given the many other options. This one may be about number 50 or so in DFW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TX made their bed in this one. If the #1 team in America doesn't attract a crowd, TX really isn't really a top HSFB state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m local, active on a lot of these boards, and will tell you there’s NO buzz about this game. There’s a lot of ways to get that changed, but playing in far south FW is a poor first step. Mind numbingly poor. Blame who you want. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI....last season 10,000+ fans nationally paid $19.99 each to watch the MD/DV game on Flo. That's $200,000 for less than three hours of work.
