Long trip for Salem?And the 6A/2A games are 4:30. It’s always been 4:30 every year why the change just for this game? Vhsl money hungry?
It was 4:30 last year too so I don’t see why it’s 5:30Long trip for Salem?
A different thread mentioned the promotion or allowance (I forget which) of open carry on LU's campus that caused them to move. I'll go ahead and open this can of worms though:Should move games back to Liberty University.
It was also because LCA is the VHSL, they would have a home game on their turf if they made it that far. That would definitely not be fair. No team can play on their home fieldA different thread mentioned the promotion or allowance (I forget which) of open carry on LU's campus that caused them to move.

Was it that or was it LCA threatening to sue VHSL to be allowed to play in the public school leagues?

Some liberal snowflake from northern VA. was scared to come to LU for a VHSL Debate championship. LU is the safest college campus in Virginia. VHSL has basketball at VCU
Check crime stats of VCU and compare to LU.
It actually did although not in this article. Once LCA gets their own venue which is in the plans, LU will not be their field.Nothing to do with lca
That’s hilariousHow many different threads are you going to post that the games should be at Liberty? We get it, you like Liberty. It makes it better for YOU. The only time you complain about something is when it doesn't agree with your thought. It's not what is best for the teams or their fans, it only matters for you. You have posted in every classification I have seen the games should be at Liberty, even saying ALL games should be back at Liberty. Even though ALL were never there.
I'm going to make some calls tomorrow. I will get in touch with every head coach playing this weekend. I will get them and the VHSL to agree to move all 6 games to Liberty (or Gretna, your choice). I will also get all of them to run a spread, no team is allowed to run ball more than 10 times, no player can come over to sideline for a play call, and no timeouts in the last 5 seconds of play clock. Also, the concessions stand is only allowed to sell certain food, and nobody is allowed to go to anything but fast food.
Oh, I forgot the most important things. Nobody is allowed to wear anything UVA related, can't even mention UVA name, and the winning teams have to change their name to begin with a G.
Did I miss anything @Hampton Roads 6
Can a team play the state game on THEIR home field?It actually did although not in this article. Once LCA gets their own venue which is in the plans, LU will not be their field.
VCU is a safe place. Is it as safe as Liberty? Nope. I’d be more worried about safety at Hampton or ODU then I would be at VCU.Some liberal snowflake from northern VA. was scared to come to LU for a VHSL Debate championship. LU is the safest college campus in Virginia. VHSL has basketball at VCU

If it was still there they'd have to move it this year because there expanding the stadium again.Should move games back to Liberty University.
Yea the odds of LCA getting to state in 4A are worse than my chance to hit there powerball this weekIt was also because LCA is the VHSL, they would have a home game on their turf if they made it that far. That would definitely not be fair. No team can play on their home field
Thanks for confirming @catchtds. We live in such a long state you really can't make everyone happy. IMO I don't think we need 6 public school champions. Three maybe four at the most. Fewer games means fewer venues to secure. We might even not have 0-10 and 1-9 teams in the play-offs. Crazy I know.Game starts at 5:30 for the reasons @VAHSFootballFan said. Parking is atrocious and it is to allow parking to open up. VHSL does have a thankless job but at the same time they should’ve toured the venue at W&M and saw the problems with parking.
May need to reevaluate everything. Weather starting to look iffy
Yep- forecast now is snow showers in the morning and turning cold in the afternoon/evening, down to 29. If that snow comes a little later everyone will slide on the turf.May need to reevaluate everything. Weather starting to look iffy
Will effect crowd. Salem has an older crowd. They are not going to drive 4 hours in possible snow. Then sitting in temperatures below freezing becomes very problematic for some. Should not have any game this time of year that starts after 3. Bad planning. Poor thinkingYep- forecast now is snow showers in the morning and turning cold in the afternoon/evening, down to 29. If that snow comes a little later everyone will slide on the turf.
I believe there is a rule that prohibits this but if the games were still at LU and LCA made the Class 4 championship, they would just move that game to a different venue. The decision to move the games from LU had nothing to do with LCA, It was because of LU allowing open/concealed carry on campus.Can a team play the state game on THEIR home field?

Not going to say anymore about it, I know what some people said. They cannot just move a game of that importance that fast because of several reasons.I believe there is a rule that prohibits this but if the games were still at LU and LCA made the Class 4 championship, they would just move that game to a different venue.

how about just taking it back the way it was, Let Region A or B winner host one year then the winner of C or D the next. No stadiums to rent . And if you don't like the host stadium or bleachers keep your candy asses at home. I've been part of 3 state championship games in this system it works fine.

I have always had to pay to watch high school football.If W&M charges to park, VHSL should move games before Saturday. I have never had to pay to watch high school football game.
They have used other high schools before years back. 1995 Amherst played Sherando at Brookville and years ago Brookville played a region game at Amherst because of their field conditions. We liked it because we made a lot of money for concessionsI have always had to pay to watch high school football.
