in the early 90's, the championship rotated between the upstate, midstate and lower state annually. It was great because every third year it was a "home" game - no travel - for someone. Hotels are no issue in this day and age. Most teams don't even overnight.

When Eugene Stone left the $$$ to Furman and USC to build the Stone Stadiums, the USC facility came up as a natural perpetual home.

This might be an opportunity to test a different venue from the list above.

And since I've been playing or watching this game since the 1960's, size matters and these kids deserve to play these games on a first rate pitch at a quality facility.

I know that USC is a neutral site and a great place to play, but I also agree that switching sites to upper then mid and then lower is also great idea for the fans to come see their schools play. Anyway we definetly need to play on a full size pitch because that is the way the game should be played. My vote is a full size field anywhere, travel is not a problem.

Rock Hill has a great football/soccer stadium. There are some disadvantages though, it has two sets of lines (football and soccer) and it is turf. From what I can tell it is regulation and can hold a large amount of people. I think that it would be a great venue that hasn't been considered.


By failing to prepare, you prepare to fail.
