MHSAA PLAYOFF
GENERAL INFORMATION

At left are the pairings for the 2008 MHSAA Football Playoffs, which begin with Pre-District play Oct. 31-Nov. 1.

Qualifying teams for the Playoffs were divided into eight Divisions of 32 schools each. Within each Division are four Regions of eight teams each; and within those regions are two Districts of four teams each. Pre-District pairings are based on regular-season computer rankings, with the first-place team in each District hosting the fourth-place team; and the second-place team hosting the third-ranked team.

District finals will be played Nov. 7-8, at the site of the highest-ranked team which was victorious in Pre-District play.

Regional finals will take place Nov. 14-15, at the site of the highest-ranked team that was victorious in District final play. Game sites may be assigned when competing teams are located 200 or more miles apart.

Semifinal games on Nov. 22 will pair the winners of Region 1 vs. Region 2; and the winners of Region 3 vs. Region 4 at prearranged sites. One Semifinal game will be assigned to Troy Athens High School, to be played at 7 p.m. that day, which will be televised live on the MHSAA Network and the MHSAA.tv Website.

Tickets for single-session Pre-District, District and Regional games are $5.  At Regional sites where multiple games are played and a single admission is charged, tickets will be $6.  Single-session Semifinal tickets are $6.  At Semifinal sites where multiple games are played and a single admission is charged, tickets are $7.

Finals tickets are $10 per day at Ford Field, allowing a fan to see all four games on a single admission.  No in and out privileges are allowed.  Parking in approximately 2,000 spaces in Olympia Entertainment lots adjacent to Ford Field and Comerica Park is $6 for cars.  Other parking vendors in the vicinity of Ford Field may charge different prices.
