^What does the Icefest (local attraction) have to do with the State Football Championship (statewide attraction)? Columbus would make a good choice for the same reason it's the Capital City, Location, Location, Location. Crew Stadium is right off of I-71, which happens to connect the 3 largest cities in Ohio.
^Its measly to Cbus, its huge to Massillon. You should find that in my context.
Hell No. I attend at least 1 title game each year at each stadium and I ask fans from each team would you rather it be in another city like Columbus? I never get a YES to that question.People love the atmosphere.. They can hit the pro football Hall.... The freeway access makes it that much more logical.

Like Massillion will turn into a ghost town if the state football finals are moved to Columbus.

It will still have the same economic effect in both places, but who has that smaller economy. I remember staying in a hotel in Greene (just north of Canton) and they were advertising the tournament as one of their main amentities/whatever you call them on cards in the lobby. Do you think Cbus hotels need this event as much as they do?

Cbus isn't really going to get too excitied about just another tournament, but the whole Massillon area seems to be excitied about it year-round. We went to a church service in N. Canton last year and the minister told us "we just have to go see Massillon's stadium!" and then he gave us directions, right in the reception line, and this is June!

Do you think Cbus hotels need this event as much as they do? You're trying to mix economies of scale with emotional attachment. It makes your rebuttal sound like a misguided attempt at socialist theory. Not all things are equal, otherwise everything would be equally spread out instead of being grouped in geographical locations (due to physical and/or social reasons).Since when does city population equate hotel economies? If anything, Columbus would have more hotels, closer to the stadiums than Massillon/Canton would have for theirs. If you're so concerned about the economies of small towns, go spend your money there.

I'm going to let you in on a secret.The State football championships weren't always held in Massillon.Until the Mid-80s they were held in......COLUMBUS! At the 'Horseshoe.'Yes, HS football is a major deal in Massillon. Yes, Paul Brown-Tiger Stadium is new, big, and nice. But is it fair for Cincy Moeller, or N. Price Hill, or St. Henry to travel 100-200 miles to play Cleveland St. Ignacious, Warren Harding, or Chardon at location that is within 50 miles for them? That's is why some of us favor moving the football finals back to Columbus. If you care so much for Massillon, move there!
