A popular question on other state's boards....here?
Admittedly I'll suggest my own area (Joliet area) as one of the top HS football areas week in and week out. You can still see pretty filled stadiums week in and week out in a relatively close area...lots of coverage (radio/papers/web/stream) and just a strong area both from a team standpoint and fan support.
Others?
Always impressed with the Naperville area and also impressed past 5-7 years with Fox Valley area.
