I think the Fort Worth Chamber should cater another event on Eagle Mountain, like they did in 2005/06? Crowd was small at Will Rodgers, but times and the sport have changed too!

NRG Stadium can hold 72,000 people;)

Sure you guys aren't thinking of the 2016 BASS Nation Championship to be held on Conroe in late 2016?

it's on Palestine?

He was asking about the Lone Star Convention Center in Conroe. NRG and it's surrounding facilities are PLENTY big!

I never said "I" was the man sitting at the table, but I am related to the man that was.

If it's a done deal then why has it not been announced? Might ask you relative about that one.

Because they don't just sign the contract then announce it immediately i'm assuming. This was just done at the Classic in Tulsa just a few weeks ago. These things take time, i've never seen them announce a location of an event immediately. Most of the time they're set up well in advance before the official announcement. If you choose not to believe it then so be it, i just saw the post about where Basszone is talking about it so i figured i would put some truth along with the rumor of it possibly being held there.

A lot of deals are done way way before it is released to the general public, Just a FYI

Of all the lakes in Texas why Conroe? They could easily have it a Toledo and have the weigh-in at Shreveport? Can you imagine what a cluster it will be on the water with all the spectators. Bad choice in my book!

The lake is not the priority. The expo location and arena are. First priority is a host city that can afford a host fee. And if it is Conroe someone is going to catch 25-30lbs a day. You'll see multiple 10+ fish. FYI, that's awesome.

Let's just hope it is in Texas and be glad. I've watched people complain for years that Texas gets passed over and I'm sure that if Texas is selected they'll be someone to come along shortly and join you in complaining about the location and lake choice. Never fails.

Having it in Texas would be great, I would for sure make it and check it out.............

I agree with you that they will probably sack them and probably see some 10#+ fish. That was not my concern. The lake is just a cluster any given day and rough as hell. Add 500 spectator boats and who knows how many pleasure boats and it will be dangerous. Not only for the guys fishing but spectators also.

Any lake large enough to host a Classic will be large enough to be rough any given day. Wind does tend to blow in open spaces, regardless of location. Every Classic had a draw for spectator boats. As for pleasure boats, their presence is typically rather muted on Conroe in February as compared to warm weather months. I'm not a Conroe weekend-chaos fan, but I don't see February as a problem month for thongs of pleasure boaters. These comments/opinions are regardless of rumor basis.....
