Boston, Massachusetts: Boston College to Host Four High School Football State Championship Games as Gillette Stadium Drops Out
The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) high school football state championship games have finally landed some of their venues. According to a November 12 report in The Boston Globe, Boston College's Alumni Stadium will host four of this year's eight state championship games. For the past two decades, the Massachusetts high school football state finals have been held at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, but before this year's playoffs began, the MIAA announced that Gillette Stadium was "no longer an option" as a host, leaving the championship venues undecided.
Boston College head football coach Bill O'Brien had publicly expressed his hope that the school would host the state finals and said the university had been working toward it. The venues for the remaining four games have not yet been announced. The Massachusetts high school football regular season has largely concluded; apart from traditional Thanksgiving games, teams are contesting the second round of the state playoffs this week on the road to the finals. The championship games are expected to be held in December, with the specific matchups for the four games at Boston College to be determined after the playoffs.
