The UIL announced Thursday via Twitter that the Texas high school football championships will return to AT&T Stadium – home of the Dallas Cowboys – in 2016-17.

After playing last year's finals in Houston, all 12 championship games are headed back to Jerry's World and will be held over one weekend this season, Dec. 14-17.
Scheduling conflicts with the Cowboys pushed last year's championships to Houston and attendance took a hit. Big school finals at AT&T in 2013 and 2014 drew over 50,000 fans.
