Prep Bowl next Friday, noon, Gately
- Thread starter MC63
- Start date
My comment may have been harsh earlier but I'm a bit upset.This is a awesome illinois high school football board that I love but I am hearing some rumblings that honestly made me pretty ticked.Seems like another career criminal thug bit the dust and was on dust at the hands of police in Chicago and the riots are set and the match is close to be struck.That would/could cancel the Prep Bowl if this happens.Meanwhile a 9 and 2 year old are dead and not 1 not 1 bit of anger!!! Now back to the beautiful world of high school football.Sorry Edgy and everyone else.
To have this historic game at the home field of one of the participants trivializes the event ever further than it already has been.
See my post in the other thread. But I guess I'll say it here too. If Illinois had a dome like Northern Iowa you would see a push to move the championship games there.
Indoor football ... God forbid!!!!
Northern Iowa has a dome? An incredible waste of taxpayer money and an awful idea.
Tough it out, boys.
ps: Places that build indoor football stadiums would be better off spending those $$$ on libraries.

Yes MC63 they do. They have had it for 5 or 6 years I think. I don't like indoor football or baseball.
Ok so enough about the venue.
Both teams run the ball and run the ball and run the ball... And play good defense. Abeit MC plays better D than Curie, but Curie's run D is solid and has been all year.
I want to gauge thoughts from the CC guys on how good of an MC team it is this year and how they will be against Curie in the Prep Bowl.

wonder what happened to the use of Lane Stadium for the Prep Bowl game? Seems to me that it was a nice option, the place is nice since the renovation and would be a true neutral site. I am hearing speculation that since Gately was already cleared of the snow and the lots plowed due to hosting the Phillips playoff game that may have been the determining factor but who knows.
What does Simeon have to do with this they are not playing
But wouldn't a retractable dome on the lake front be a huge money maker? Look at the Jerry Dome in Dallas
I will never understand why the city did not build a retractable dome next to McCormick place, would have been a complete asset to the city for conventions, ,multi usage, Big Ten Championships, High School games and championships, year round concert and potentially a Final Four and Super Bowls once a decade. Instead they invested so much wasteful money in to a rehab of Soldier Field and now are building an events center at McCormick Place because of lost business to other cities for conventions.
Don't worry- only another 18 years on the Soldier Field lease. Then we can get a state of the art facility, maybe.
No, no,
No, no, no! The Bears beat the Portsmouth Spartans 9 - 0.
That team moved to Detroit a few years later and became the Lions.
Contrary to popular belief, I wasn't born yet.

Veery, very
few NFL stadiums are privately funded. The NFL has a number of tricks to extort public money for new and refurbished facilities. Their best to date is the threat of the team moving to Los Angeles.. I love how they charge the Pentagon for those phony military salutes.
