The championships featured 16 teams competing in 8 championship games to earn their class (teams are broken up into 8 classes, 1A - 8A, based on school population) state football title. IHSA Destination DeKalb received glowing feedback from the Illinois High School Association (IHSA), fans, and teams. Visitors stopped and thanked volunteers for offering a warm and hospitable welcome. Several of these visitors had been to Huskie Stadium in previous championship years and said, we “do it up right,” making the championships even more special with all that we do to ensure that everyone has a wonderful experience. The Spirit Zone is the fan staging area. It’s filled with cheer and dance squads, bands, team mascots, and enthusiastic fans. It features a tent for each of the 16 competing teams to celebrate pre- and post-game and the main hospitality tent, where community ambassadors welcome fans. Thanks to our sponsors, the main hospitality tent is heated with ample seating, a big-screen TV, complimentary hot chocolate, coffee, and popcorn, and 2 interactive inflatables, the mechanical armchair quarterback and a 3-in-1 sports inflatable. The whole area provides a welcoming and festive atmosphere. The 2017 Spirit Zone saw everything from 23-foot-long inflatable football helmet to a sit-down dinner for 165, and thousands of amazing fans. While we can only estimate the economic impact the championship weekend had on our local economy, we can share some of the hard numbers that go into this estimate.

Vanderweil Submitted to the Department of Architecture in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Real Estate Development ABSTRACT: Sustainable development for stadiums and arenas is a recent topic gaining interest throughout professional sports ownership groups worldwide. Stadiums have lagged behind in understanding the best practices surrounding the analysis and implementation of green building techniques due to their unique nature, while other more conventional building types have developed and implemented a standard system of practices with regards to sustainable design. Abnormal usage patterns, variable climate conditions, and slow changing operational structures with longstanding policies are all hurdles facing organizations as they attempt to make their stadiums greener. This thesis investigates and lists current examples of green friendly design and operations that exist in stadiums worldwide.
