Football has a two-minute warning. This is Houston’s one-month warning.
Exactly one month from Friday, Space City will host the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship inside NRG Stadium.
“The interest has absolutely spiked this week,” Zac Emmons, director of marketing and communications for the Houston College Football Playoff National Championship Host Committee, told reporters. “It’s been a lot of fun. There’s a lot of conversations. We’ve had inquiries about tickets, suites, and sponsorships.”
It was announced Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Alabama were selected for the four-team College Football Playoff on Sunday. The winners will meet Jan. 8 at NRG Stadium.
As our city helps determine the best team this season, we could also see two of the best programs of all-time. On the list of most victories all-time, Michigan ranks No. 1, Alabama is No. 2, and Texas is No. 4.
“You have four of the biggest, most-passionate fan bases in the country,” Emmons said of the four teams with a chance to make it to Houston for the CFP title game. “The way college football is structured, there’s no way we could’ve gone wrong. But this is, in a lot of ways, almost a dream scenario with the four schools you have in there. It’s four of the greatest programs in college football.”
Currently, the least-expensive ticket to the title game available on VividSeats.com is more than $1,300.
