The UIL announced Monday that Cowboys Stadium will host all the 11-man state football championships for the first time in history. UIL football championships in both divisions of 3A through 5A were held at Cowboys Stadium last season in front of near record crowds and will now be joined with the 1A and 2A in 2011. The Conference 1A 6-man Division I and Division II football state championships will be held at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene.
Last year marked the first time all UIL football state championship games in all conferences were held at pre-determined locations. The UIL has determined the site for the Conference 5A football state championships since 2006.
The UIL is currently working with Fox Sports Southwest to have all of the games televised or shown on the Internet, according to UIL director of athletics Mark Cousins.
Only the 2011 championships have been locked into Cowboys Stadium and the location of future championships is still up in the air, Cousins said.
