There are PLENTY of resteraunts in Richmond. IN FACT with the new shopping center and being only 15-20 minutes away from Hamburg in Lexington (actually an easier drive than across bowling green) I'd say Richmond has BG dominiated in places to eat. Also, between Berea, Richmond Exits, and Hamburg in Lex (15 mins on I-75) there are TONS of rooms and hotels in that area.

22,000 would be more than enough. EKU has a concourse in the new football building that is not as big as BG, but just as nice. Also, the stadium would actually be PACKED, the kids would be playing in front of a full stadium. You also have the Grass in the endzone which could get you to around 25,000. And EKU has a turf field. And even if it sold out, it would still be 25000 people watching the game. Thats like filling Rupp, pretty sure if its good enough for the greatest basketball program in America, its good enough for high school football.

The only game it would impact would be the 6A game IF both X and Trin made it. It would have a HUGE GAME but HIGH SCHOOL feel to it.

I think EKU would be an ideal place for the State Games. Big stadiums, while cool, KILL the atmosphere with everyone being spread out. It looks empty. Go big, but fill it up and watch the electricity!!!
