Home-field advantage

[DannyShapiroBE]

As many of you probably know, UIL implemented home-field advantage for the first round of the 5A playoffs starting next year. Most coaches are in favor of it but I want to know what fans think.

If anyone has a minute, shoot me a PM or a text - 602-577-1472.

 

Thanks.

Yes!

I'm fine with it. Makes the district championship mean something again although not like it was before 1982 when only one team made the playoffs.

Put a little more meaning than just making the playoffs.

What determines who gets it?

This should be done in all classifications, not just 6A & 5A.

District championship should mean something. Getting to host 1st round playoff should go to the district champ.

Be curious to see how the 6A 1st round games go this year.

I have a feeling it'll be a universal rule in a few years. Peevey at West Brook loves the idea, so do most coaches and fans. I think it'll stick.

Most coaches do.  It takes away one BIG headache that they have to worry about, especially at the bi-district round. 

For most area 5A fans, it will be good because at worst you are getting a game in the Houston area and might get another game 5 minutes away from home.

Of course, if West Brook slips up against Lufkin, Bruin fans might view this new rule, which would probably mean a bi-district game in Longview, less favorably.

I like the idea, but I don't mind playing on a neutral field either. We PNG fans make the trip regardless come playoff time. Hell I had a buddy of mines son played one year and we had to go to Jacksonville for a preseason game which he didn't make. I got all over him for not making the trip to watch his boy play. I think the last time we had a home playoff game we won 33-0. So yes that works for me I vote yes lol

It would be a long haul for whoever comes up short in our district with a trip to Carthage, Henderson, Kilgore, etc....
