Columbus bidding on state finals

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

As I was told about Dayton who has already made an unofficial bid I was told that Columbus also will be doing so.
Thoughts?

Crew Stadium for all games?

 

[Wildcat97]

What sites in Dayton? What sites in Columbus? I just don't see the facilities. If there, then let's throw Youngstown, and Cleveland and toledo in the mix too

 

[Bless Em All]

Welcome in Dayton. It's been improved.

 

[Wildcat97]

Welcome? Yikes

 

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Bingo. I posted about the Dayton bid after a person who is involved in their plans let me know.

 

[RollingTrain]

I’d pitch Crew Stadium…perfect place

That is what I was told.

 

[serpico]

An ‘unofficial bid’ sounds like something a couple guys were talking about at Kramer’s or the Fieldhouse, lol

Doesnt Crew Stadium have natural grass?

Nope

 

[Wildcat97]

Since allegedly Welcome, then I nominate Byers if that is all of a site that is needed. Those won't have a chance against Benson. Sorry, just facts

 

[The Dock]

Welcome Stadium

oh boy! A venue that’s going to get relentlessly mocked by scores of posters!

Dayton has a 0% chance.

historic crew stadium could be a real contender. It’s no secret the OHSAA doesn’t like the games at Canton. The HOF has simply been the only bid for years.

Crew Stadium would be perfect. Size, location, parking, amenities, press box, etc.

Just always needed turf. Now they've got it.

 

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Time will tell.
Columbus would be great.
Dayton would be awesome just to hear part of the state whine.

They love Canton

Would like to see it back in Columbus.

OHSAA has no morals and let’s not pretend they’re for the betterment of the student athletes, whoever comes up with the best financial package will get the bid

I get what you’re saying, my man, but a Dayton selection would likely be unpopular with more people than just the NE Ohio contingencies. Further, the opportunities to “grow” interest and increase ticket sales really isn’t there IMO compared to Columbus.

Competition is good.

[Mr. Red Raider]

Hopefully it stays in Canton. Does the HOF Village not want the state title game there anymore?

If you read the Dayton thread you know what I know about the Dayton bid.

What else should matter to them than the financial package? What does morality have to do with where games are played? If you want to complain just to complain, say so.

Other than being in a ****hole part of Cbus, yes.

 

[hammer89]

Worked at the OHSAA from 2013-2021.

Everyone working there hated Canton. But please, continue.

 

[BirdDog10]

Well they’re currently played in Canton, sooo….

So the Gahanna - New Albany - Region 3 final will be a nice trial run for them this Friday

I'd love to see UT and BGSU combine for a bid.
