Recommend to increase field requirements to a minimum of 62 yards by 110 yards for all sectional and quarterfinal games. If the host school does not have a field with the minimum dimensions and is unable to obtain a suitable field with the required dimensions at no cost to MSHSAA, the opposing school will have the opportunity to host. If both schools mutually agree to play on a smaller field they may do so.
