The 8A game wrapped up at about 11:45.
With the wing-T having been retired (apologies to JCA fans) this trend will most likely continue.
Are teams and fans arriving back in Chicagoland at 2 or 3 am what the IHSA wants?

Competitive games also make the clock move faster. PAT's, KO's, penalties and incompletions (being down) lead to longer games, no?

I never watched the 8a game. I feel asleep.

Don't know how to get around the midnight finish unless games begin at 8am.

There is no chance they’d split the staff (or less chance - double the staff) to accommodate two sites in one weekend. Nor would the TV accommodate this.

Yea. Two weekends would be a stretch. But two sites would be an absolute non starter.

Have these schools never heard of a hotel? Just like the teams that play in the morning, they usually stay in a hotel the night before.

2 sites are completely undoable, multiple weekends is the same as 2 separate sites, costs double, and looking at the stands this weekend, not so sure the IHSA made money.

You could go
Friday - 8 Man @ 11am, 1A @ 2PM, 2A @ 5PM
Saturday - 3A @ 11am, 4A @ 2PM, 5A @ 5PM
Sunday - 6A @ 11am, 7A @ 2PM, 8A @ 5PM (those Catholic Programs still can attend Sat Mass or Sunday Mass, which we know they all do)

Is Thanksgiving weekend the be all end all date for the IHSA? Can we move it up a week? Move it back to the first week of December?

6 classes gets you more competitive playoffs. Better game times for the championships.
The only con to it iMO is that you'll have way more teams trying to schedule cupcakes in non conference to insure they have a good record and get in.

I'm sure they don't want to compete with Bears/NFL on Sunday. But that thought did cross my mind too.
