Russell Atheletics signed on as a sponsor, because it is in Bowling Green, home of Fruit of the Loom. It will be here for several more years. Have all you guys that want it moved ever been to the finals at WKU. I don't know how it could be a better atmosphere anywhere else. True fans will follow their teams wherever they play.

Not being a jerk, but this statement from a Bowling Green fan isn't reasonable. It's easy to say "true fans follow their teams" when the final is a home game. You can bet your bottom dollar had Harlan County made we would have traveled the 5 or 6 hours to cheer for our the Bears. Again not being a jerk! It's just you being biased for home, that's why I say have it at EKU it kinda like home to me! The finals were played there back when Corbin won a championship.

Well, from a Highlands fan who traveled the 3 1/2 hours for the past 4 years, I love Western. Actually have gotten use to the drive. The stadium is perfect, the atmosphere is 100% better than Papa Johns and Papa Johns was charging for the use of the stadium and Western doesn't. Western has been more than accommodating and doing a great job of making it a nice place to watch football.

Eastern would also be an option if they bid on it and if they have enough hotel space for all the teams.

UK is out of the equation unless they got field turf which I don't see happening.
