Possible location for Class 6 State Championship game?

[Red Neck]

It was definitely Osbourn because they won the championship that year (2006) over Chantilly (not Oakton). The game was initially suppose to be played in the 757 and it got moved to Freedom Woodbridge.

Ahhh... Yes, that's correct. Chantilly...

This is probably far fetched, but Shenandoah University (this is a D3 school) has a nice football stadium. It is near Winchester, which could be a pain for a 757 school to drive to, but it's an option. Take Class 5 and 6 out of it, I am surprised a title game isn't there for the VHSL to use.

Segra Field would have to be configured for football, since it is a soccer stadium year round and is artificial turf.

There are high school stadiums bigger than Shenandoah’s stadium. The visitor stands are very tiny with some high school bands in 5/6 that would completely fill all of those seats.

Thoughts?

Old Dominion University served as the previous host for the Class 5 and 6 state football finals.

UVA was clearly a target option

I like UVA as the site. I don't like the times- 11:30 & 5 for all sites

11:30am and 5:00pm is garbage. You can clearly get games in within a four hour period, do the ceremonies, clear the field, and have teams get ready for the second game. Plus, you know that UVA's overzealous security (RMC Events) won't allow people to leave for a bit and come back in. Should have been 12:00pm and 4:00pm.

Also, UVA's stadium is trash. It will be a terrible atmosphere with only a few thousand people max at a 60,000 seat stadium.

I loved it back in 2015! You can stay home!

Did you like the location? Or do you like the times? Yeah. I won't be going to C5/C6. I'll go to C3/C4 if any at all.

And by the way, the games at UVA come off as small time on the TV broadcasts with zero atmosphere. It's a laughable look considering Virginia is supposed to be such a hotbed for high school football standouts.

I love the location,and honestly…I love the times. Charlottesville is quite beautiful that time of year. I have no problem,Going to watch the D5 game, leaving to get something to eat(I don’t eat stadium food anywhere),and coming back to the D6 Finals to watch my Springers. I love the fact that the bigger schools get to play in a power five conference stadium for the state championship. Once again, you may not like it, but honestly, your opinion really doesn’t matter.

You were spot on with your take on the VHSL and where to have championship games. Now understanding in C6 most there's schools are in the north which is tricky because of venues like really where unless JMU which maybe a scheduling conflicts even with them moving up and expect them to be playing on championship weekend. And class 5 TBH ODU makes sense because majority of that championship will 757 and can be a 804 team

Also, I checked out https://icoholder.com, and it's a fantastic resource for staying updated on ICOs and cryptocurrency projects. If anyone here is into crypto or looking for reliable information about upcoming ICOs, it's definitely worth a visit.

I completely agree with your points about the challenges of hosting VHSL championship games, especially for Class 6 and Class 5. The geographical distribution of schools indeed makes it tricky. For Class 6, JMU is a logical choice given its central location, but potential scheduling conflicts due to their own athletic events can be a hurdle.

I am for separating Classes 6 and 5.
let Class 6 stay at UVa or JMU and Class 5 back to tidewater

Absolutely not… The state championship games should be either stay 2 games at one venue or all 6 at one venue over a two day span.
