Could well be. The UTEP home game with UAB was going to be there as well but of course the game was cancelled. The high school stadium in Midland is very nice.

The make up game with USM will likely be scheduled there as well.

It is an okay high school stadium, but still a high school stadium.

C-USA is already dealing with enough perception issues. I'd just assume UNT host the game and we play at El Paso next season. Do you think UTEP would agree to that deal?

I don't know if UTEP would agree but I like the idea of UTEP having 5 conference home games in 2021.

I like UTEP but I got to admit, I'd rather North Texas go play a game against UAB at Lesion Field, than play at a high school stadium in Midland.

You're making waaaay too much out of this. It's a makeshift setup during the COVID environment. I read that Grande Communications Stadium seats about 18K? This isn't some country bumpkin stadium. Besides, fans aren't aloud to attend anyway.

You're welcome. Being that we obviously had cases, I'm glad we didn't spread it to the UTEP team too. So, Will UTEP be able to host the game on Dec. 12th?

I don’t know why you keep pretending we couldn’t host the original date. UNT became scared of playing in a COVID hotspot and postponed. Other conference teams jumped aboard the same train. As fate would have it they suffered from outbreaks while we stayed healthy at home. We’re hosting a basketball game on Wednesday. It has never been about our ability to host the game but rather the willingness of the opposite team to travel to El Paso and fulfill their schedule. Will UNT show up or will they continue to avoid this game?

Where in this thread did I state that? Everyone knows UTEP was set to host the game, and we didn't want to play due to the spike in El Paso. All I said was that I was glad we didn't infect the Miners.

I'm sure UNT will show up. I just hope the game is in El Paso and not Midland.
