2010 FCS title game

[06panther10]

Will be played in Frisco, TX. Chattanooga apparently lost the final bid between the two cities today.

Great Move.

Having the game in football crazy Texas in a city that you can actually fly into easily is a great move that will make this a much better attended event.

I think this is a very good move...sorry Chatty, I wish I had gotten to know you better.

I saw the MLS Championship Game in Frisco in 2006. Houston beat New England in a PK shootout. Great size stadium for FCS Football. No track around field, so fans are close like the dome. We stayed in downtown Dallas, easy drive from there, maybe 45 minutes. Great weather. Frisco looked like a new yuppie subdivision. Chattanooga in 2005 was cold.

Re: 2010 FCS title game

I think average temp in Frisco is only about 5 degrees warmer than Chatty at that time of year (if I remember right). Chatty was dang cold in 2005...but I warmed up in a hurry.

I hate to say goodbye to Chatty, because I think they did a great job.

But this looks like a very nice site for the game.

Great size...21k capacity. 17 suites, stadium club, lots of amenities.

Easier location for UNI fans to get in and out of. Plenty of hotels & restaurants in the area. And a city that looks hungry to host this type of event. I'm guessing they put a pretty darn good package together to wedge that away from Chatty.

Re: 2010 FCS title game

Downtown Chatty was fun in 2005, but that was it. Too cold for a title game, and the stadium is adjacent to some shady parts. Or may it was just the ASU fans that ruined it.
