Re: Little Rock bids for NC Game
Agree that Stadium Capacity is definately an issue. Especially if teams that don't travel well make it to the Championship Game.

Are you serious? Why not just find the right stadium...EWU FOOTBALL 2004|2005|2010|2012|2013|2014|2016|2018|BigSky Champions

Re: Little Rock bids for NC Game
i get the impression that what the committee really likes is the thought that our game would be "THE event" in town... which makes a bigger city problematic...
still like the Canton idea, still like Orlando, wouldn't object to FAMU's stadium in Tallahassee or Sam Boyd in Vegas (though i know it won't happen)
