As I get more details I will revise this one but MFA is calling it the Iowa Colony Regional and it’s being held at Alvin ISD’s Freedom Field (date tentative).

Wait so they’re changing the field again? Huh, wonder why…

Yeah I was wondering about that as well.

I’m not for sure why, but since my school plays games at Challenger a lot, I can give some insight. The acoustics SUCK at challenger. Also, the new stadium is newer, and has more capacity, and way better acoustics.

This stadium is a HUGE upgrade from Challenger Columbia Stadium - Clear Creek ISD in Webster...where you're seated a mile from each band (hard to hear in quiet music moments) and required to sit in "microwave" conditions from the reflected sun off the shiny seats during the day.

Freedom Field is my favorite sight-line stadium in the whole state and one of my top 3 in terms of overall fan experience I've experienced. 

#2 is C.H. Collins Stadium - Denton ISD.

#3 is Legacy Stadium - Katy ISD (no individual seatbacks though).

I've not experienced the new Children’s Health Stadium - Prosper ISD or McKinney ISD Stadium so those might be great too.  Hope to experience both someday soon.

The protected conditions of the Alamodome has some real benefits during extreme temperatures or poor weather conditions to be sure, but sight lines and sound quality are debatable indeed.
