Neutral Site Games Ideas

[Aggies7]

Has anyone seen it discussed on how we will be able to set these up. Meaning if I wanted to could I set it up in preseason to play a neutral site game every week?

And also can you only change neutral site game for your own team? The reason I ask is I haven't heard if they rotate teams to play in the Chick-A-Fil Kickoff Classic. Or can your team be invited to play in that game or do you have to modify it every year so it's not the same two teams.

Ford Field is included correct? I dont remember if a bowl game is there, but the MAC title game is there. If so, i'll do a home and home w/ UConn and Michigan, one game at MetLife the other Ford Field.

No I have not seen them mention how it would actually work. I would hope that we can change all games to whatever we prefer.

I know it ended, but it would be cool to bring back Illinois - Mizzou in St. Louis.

As a side note, do neutral site games have any effect on recruiting or tv exposure or anything? I mena, the point of Bama and Michigan playing in Dallas is to recruit in Texas, so I didn't know if that was reflected in the game.

Yeah, it's included since the MAC Championship is there. I double checked all the stadiums on Teambuilder 14 last night. lol

Kind of off topic, but I'm disappointed in the neutral site game in the demo. It treats it like a Bama home game and the crowd only seems to cheer for them.

It's called "Chicago Homecoming," because an enormous chunk of Illinois alumni live in the Chicago area.



Kind of like Arkansas playing games in Little Rock.

Since Edward Jones Dome isn't in, where have you thought about putting them? Lincoln? Dallas? Indy? Chicago? Lawrence?

I know that Lincoln or Lawrence wouldn't be too realistic, but they do offer a neutral, yet geogrpahic site.
