I think this is awesome... this a great place for the game. Also an option for 2026.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
I wonder if any other conferences / cities / stadiums put in a bid besides the Southland Conference / Frisco / Toyota Stadium trifecta.
If NDSU keeps making it back there, it's good for those of us that like routine, familiarity and a city that seems damn happy that NDSU has made it. Not so good for us that like to take in other parts of the country and would use the FCS championship game as a reason for a 3-6 day excursion to a different place.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
Truly wish they would move locations. Frisco was fun the first few trips, however the luster of the area has worn off. Time to switch it up a bit imo

It doesn't sound like anyone else bid on it.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
I'd like somewhere else. A rotation would be nice, yr 1-Frisco, yr 2-Orlando, yr 3-Las Vegas, yr 4-Frisco, etc.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
Frisco probably allows the largest number of Bison fans to travel. Major airport nearby. Close enough that people will drive. Putting it on either coast would cut the Bison crowd in half.

It’s run it’s course in Frisco in my opinion. Obviously I’m a hockey guy and I like how the Frozen Four is in a different location every year. But Frisco it will be for at least another 6 years.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
How long until they give you guys the naming rights for this game? Your fans have put far more money into the game than any sponsor!

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
They should move it to Fargo.
It would make it a lot easier. ;-)

Minneapolis would be better. It's like East Fargo.

TONY it was in jest.
NDSU is now and has been the hub of FCS football for the last 8 years & I don't see that being any different in the next 6 years.
I doubt that the FCS will let the NC game be played in Fargo. They wouldn't want to give you anymore advantage.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
It's time for something different. Too bad with the new contract. Turf is awful and played a part of some big plays defense gave up. Id love to see the Bison play in Nashville

This. Fuck that field

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
At least 3 MLS teams play on turf so it’s not like grass is required.

But soccer on turf is awful and they are the main tenant

When GSU played for the FCS NC in 99 & 2000 it was at the Chattanooga field. It was the worst turf I've ever seen. Very hard to make cuts on the outside keep/pitch & grass flying everywhere. The Stadium itself was great.

I am strongly opposed to this! I really like my excuse to go warm up in Texas and especially to get that gooooooood BBQ.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
When they announced the renovation with the new locker rooms and football specific stuff under the club and hall of fame you had to have a strongly suspect this game wasn't going anywhere for a while.
-
Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
Yeah, that field is simply awful. The HS field the band practiced on, wherever that was, made the Toyota field look like a pasture.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
Toyota Stadium is really good except for the turf. Really wish they could figure something out to make it a better surface for football. I wonder what the coaches really think about?
-
Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
Capacity is down, turf is perennially awful, there is now a bad shadow line, and every time you see the stadium, NATIONAL SOCCER HALL OF FAME jumps out at you. Personally I'm disappointed nobody else bid on it, Toyota Stadium used to be OK but it has turned into an embarrassment for football. FCS deserves better.

Yeah, the shadow and soccer signage do kinda suck too.

The championship game box score says that the attendance was 17,802. Is that what the capacity has been decreased to?

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
Love that the game is staying in Frisco, but not thrilled about toyota stadium fwiw. I would love Orlando or Vegas or New Orleans, but Frisco would cut their limbs off for NDSU and that makes it feel VERY special, specifically for us and no one else haha.
Wish we could get to a better and marginally larger stadium. Turf sucks, Soccer signage is gross and the immense shadow on the field looks terrible on TV.

Would love to have the game here in Orlando. They already handle 4 bowl games, 3 college and the pro bowl. Citrus Bowl is pretty big, I would like to see it played at UCF, nice, newer stadium, a nice size for the event, holds right at 45,000.
It is just weird that only one locale bid on the game. That feels like not a lot of confidence the fans would travel for game in Orlando.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
Size wise the stadium is perfect. The soccer thing is an issue for people who dont go there to try to discredit us for going to a championship. Only an issue if you want it to be an issue. That area has grown so much and I don’t see it leaving anytime soon.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
When is the nearest time they use the field for anything else? Surely they don't play soccer on a field this bad. Any turf experts know if this is just a dormant period for the grass? Or are they just not maintaining it through December and January?

The stadium schedule lists the Frisco ISD soccer tournament a couple days before the championship game, but that might have been in the surrounding fields outside the stadium. If that's the case, the last event was the Frisco Bowl on Dec. 19th. It looks like FC Dallas hasn't had a game in the stadium since the end of October.

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
Grass is bred for specific sports. Soccer grass is designed to hold the ball up, as you can imagine, for kicking.
They have a new heat blankets for the field. After soccer season they need to switch to football turf. The bed is sand so don’t know if it would work

Grass seed is bred to be used for bread that can be eaten at sporting events!

Re: Title Game Staying in Frisco Through 2025
It was certainly better then the year that clods were flying everywhere, but it was an odd feeling when I got down on the field post game. I wouldn't think it would have been a great surface for football, but its been far worse.

Seems like they would have done something by now about grass that is intended to be dormant during the winter.

California, Florida or even Arizona are major tourist locations with multiple major hub airports. A lot more flights are going into there than Dallas. There would be significantly more options to get to these locations. That and cheaper. Think of the millions of people going to each Disney World and Disneyland as one small example.

There are not more options, there are less. The same number of planes will leave Fargo with higher demand because driving will not be an option for most people. 27 hours of driving (through mountains) would reduce the number of people driving greatly.

Dallas is the #4 busiest airport in the US per passengers. So no, there are not a lot more planes going those places than Dallas

LAX handles about 15 million more passengers a year than DFW. Look at domestic flights.
Do you think those puddlejumpers are going into LAX?
