Even if there was school interest, unless CLE has done a 180 on the issue, doesn't matter. For goodness sakes,.cle council gave us students hell about parking in the 90s....never forgot that interaction.
And your mayor has to actually do anything and be in town to actually, well, do anything.
Whatever, just find a stadium for all home games. Move back to Saturday, who cares.

Even for the Welsh Academy and new academic wing, the school had to go through a lot of hoops with the North of Lorain block club, Ohio City Inc., the Cleveland City Landmarks commission and Cleveland City planning commission. Lot of people want to be the cook. Focus needs to be on affordability.
Chaloub was on both the varsity and JV rosters this past season.
Did he play much in JV games? I believe he was injured and that is why Donovan was brought up from the freshmen team.
Chaloub is a starter on JV basketball right now. The game program lists him at 6-4, 200 pounds
I agree with tom48's comment - it would not be surprising if Woidke concentrates on basketball, where he already has D1 offers. If he's going to play in college athletics, it'll be in basketball.
And his last two seasons of football have ended with injuries.
The QB coaching hasn’t been good since Nick retired. I didn’t have much faith that Frontino would develop had he stayed.
I’ll just keep saying that I hate the entire offensive scheme Ignatius runs. The personnel doesn’t fit and obviously the offensive coaching is putrid.

Just not taking Ignatius very seriously if that offensive coordinator and scheme are coming back
Both will be back.

He's not going anywhere. They made a teaching position for him.

Where would St. Iggy play their home games for 2024? I forget the reason why they don't use Byers Field anymore.
Maybe they split games between Wasmer Field and Case? Don't see many other fields within driving distance that are feasible for the Wildcats unless they somehow decide to reup with Byers.

Reason for only 1 at Byers last year was Franzinger wants to play Friday games, and that's not realistic at Byers with VF and Normandy.
Personally, I think you go back to Saturday and get Byers or somewhere as a dedicated field and stop being gypsies like last year

My bet is that JCU will be the "home" field as needed and Wasmer will be used for the lower turnout games, to the dismay of west siders. If Euclid wasn't such a dump it would be a great home stadium.
Outside of our game there isn't much need for a big stadium, last years holy war wasn't even a sellout. The age of streaming is upon us.
Merry Christmas everyone.

JCU has been very uncooperative with Ignatius in pretty much all aspects of interaction. I understand Ignatius inquired about using JCU last year and the college was pretty much against it, putting on ridiculous requirements.

Interesting. I guess I thought JCU would be all over it considering it's a great way to get prospective students on campus.
JCU has shown that it has no interest in promoting itself if it requires going out of its way. The St. X - Ignatius game was moved to JCU years ago in order to let the college open itself to high schoolers from Jesuit schools. Were there reps? No. So, they can pound salt.

Won't be JCU. They shot their wad by becoming Benny home field that along with their interaction with Ignatius is just very very odd

Personally, I think you suck it up and go to Saturdays. Fields to rent are just not there on Friday.
Byers, Strongsville, N Royalton, Fairview, Brunswick. Personally, I think all of those are more than sufficient and if Parma tries to drive the price, look elsewhere. I have reason to believe Strongsville wouldn't be open to it

FWIW, Eds played Elder about 10 years ago at Fairview and it was great. Lakewood is way too convenient for Eds though, and once they got new turf any thoughts of moving to Fairview were put to rest. And Fairview, while a good size for a Cincy-Cleveland game, isn't the right size for the holy war or a big local matchup. Just a bit too small.
Like you said 97, it's just not feasible for us to play Friday games, though I would love it. Especially with scheduling needed to be done so far in advance.

Doubt it. Scheduling logistical non-starter

Fairview could probably work. I don't think Ignatius has to worry about capacity crowds these days.

Agree. Of course I would love Strongsville to work out, if even on table, bur Fairview makes most sense if Byers doesn't happen
