The GHSA was forced to move this season's football finals to December 11 and 12 because Arthur Blank's MLS soccer team bumped the regular schedule by reaching the finals to be played at the Benz on December 8.
GHSA has known this was a possibility since they singed the contract. Very bad decision. Championship games being played mid week? The crowds will be thin and they already look thin on TV in that monsterous setting.
I hope the powers that be never enter into a contract to do that again. Play at Bobby Dodd and Mercer. Dual sites with reduced time between kick offs. If a higher seed is from South Georgia play at Mercer. If the higher seed is from north Georgia play at Bobby Dodd.
Sure there would be a weather element, but it's football. The game is played in the elements.
