Plenty of venues in Texas that would be delighted to have that championship, and that have plenty to offer.
    How about NOT IN FRISCO? A too small 20,000 seat stadium for a National Title Game? Seriously, why not Cowboy Stadium? Indoor, no weather issues to deal with, or San Antonio Dome, or Arizona College fields? For Gods sake, NDSU has brought $$$$$ and limited seats to Frisco for how long....? Out Grown that dinky stadium because it looks nice that its full? For the Love of Jesus, let this National Championship be played in a bigger venue, that allows more fans to attend. I think Frisco is a joke, it was quite obvious that the City can't get a big enough place for Fans to do Pre-Game events either,...cmon its time for the FCS National Championship to be played in a big Indoor venue for fans to travel and know they aren't dealing with 32 degrees and snow or freezing rain up in our country down there. Sorry Frisco but would someone else bid for this Championship to be else where so we can watch 40,000 or 50,000 fans, or at least when the Bison play it could be 40,000 plus attending.....Am I wrong on feeling this way? Who wants to travel 1500 miles to freeze, why not play it in a warm, nice environment for both fans and players?

    A little feedback on this I agree this venue is too small....oh but its nice for ESPN to show a FULL stadium because the other FBS worthless Bowl games and stadiums are 2/3rds empty?
    Sorry about my rant, but its the truth. Wouldn't it be nice to see this game in Glendale Stadium in AZ? or in California somewhere?

    Glad to see off SHSU and JMU into the Abyss of college football....bye bye...hurts the FCS overall losing good rivalries..but what do you do?

    Go Bison, tear up the Grass in Frisco, Hoof it up baby!

    There is not demand of Bison fans to get 40-50k fans to this game. There never had been. Maybe 25k at the peak when they were playing JMU. If they game doesn't include NDSU from the first 5 games they struggle to get 15k. The size of the stadium is fine.

    I'm glad you acknowledged the venue doesn't change unless someone else bids on it. It's held in Frisco because the Frisco sports organization is the one submitting the bid. They would never host something in another city. That would be like a similar organization in Fargo bidding to host something and having the games in Hillsboro or Maryville.

    Why don’t we just play on the moon! That would be epic! Maybe we could have the championship in Estadio Azteca! Think of the history!

    I wonder if there’s something else that happens in NFL stadiums on weekends in early January that might make this difficult? Go back to making up crap about locker room issues and Twitter, ya old coot

    Excellent points! Time for a venue change. Look at the price of a ticket right now. Won’t even be able to afford one of those $13 dollar beers once parked and sat down. Ridiculous and a dang shame to create a false supply and demand situation due to too small of a venue when there are a boatload of more appropriately sized places to go. All that
    foolishness serves is the stinkin scalpers.

    Frisco has cut a fat hog on this deal for a decade, and it’s time to move on. Advantage to the Dallas area is central location and flights and a lot of venues to consider and to have bid on the privilege of having this championship and cash inflow. Apogee in Denton (30k capacity), the Cotton Bowl, Cowboys stadiums in Frisco and Arlington, Rangers former field, etc. etc.

    Outside of Dallas many more very good candidates also as you pointed out!
