156 miles in 2 1/2 hours?  Dale Jr. must be driving that bus.

That's 60 mph. Need someone to drive you around grandpa?

We should do like they do in Texas and play at neutral sites agreed on by both schools so both school's fans could travel.

On average I agree.  But to be able to average 60 over that distance, you would have to push 75 at times sonny boy.

Well Texas is big enough to have suitable stadiums all over that are big enough to seat fans and all that comes with a playoff game. And you also have to remember how big Texas schools are. They're 3A is 6A for Arkansas size wise (don't quote me on that).  Arkansas isn't  equipped at the high school level where there's 100 million dollar high school football stadiums everywhere. Best one in the state for high school  is probably NLR I'd sayv

All routes are per Mapquest. All interstate until You hit 79S at Pine Bluff..

A long time ago we did. Made it a lot easier.

I think all semi final games should be neutral sites. But not the rds before.

So Lamar school has an on ramp to I-40. Nice.

[Warriors023]

That is affirmative horse shoe, we have our own exit and on ramp!!

Who cares how far someone travels in the quarters? I don't think anyone is in school Friday. I feel like everyone can leave when they want to.

I would think some fans/parents still have to work, and the distances will adversely affect their ability to attend.  JS

Safe travels to all the football fans traveling to games this Friday. Don't forget about all those black Friday holiday shopper's that will be on the road as well. Depending on where you are going to, you might need to leave a little early.

Again, scared to get in the left lane, gramps? 😉😎

It's Arkansas, people in the left lane drive 5 under the speed limit and never get in the right lane.

Who says it has to be at a high school stadium. If all games were played at a central location, why not WMS or UCA. Or early round games could be regional at places like SAU, Arkansas Tech, etc.

On the other hand, because of the size of the state of Texas, travel could be more problematic. Imagine a team having to travel from Texarkana to El Paso or Amarillo to Brownsville.
