If you are saying play in Memphis in The Mid South Coliseum I say yea that would be good...Why put 8 or 9,000 people in an arena that holds what 19 or 20,000 people...Put em in The Coliseum...As to Mempho being dangerous...I have been to games at Kingsbury and Treadwell...They were great atmospheres for high school basketball and never once had a problem with the fans....If your scared say your scared.... :lol:

 

Also Chattanooga would be a good place to hold the state tourney at the Roundhouse....

The Coliseum is an absolute dump. You're missing my whole point.

 

What would mean more to you 50 years from now talking to your grandkids? "I played in the state tournament at MTSU" or "I played in the state tournament where the (Grizzlies/Tigers/Vols/Preds) play"?

 

The bigger arenas can curtain off the upstairs levels if they don't expect to sell enough tickets to need them.

Your standards for pretty good shape are very, very different than mine, then. The Coliseum certainly had its days, but they've passed.

The way things are going, there's a good chance there won't be any hockey in Nashville. Might be saying, "I played where they play arena football."

    • Yeah I am on board and plan on coming down from the Ridge for some home games, great Friday night atmosphere there.  I'm really hoping SC can get them back going and have some success for those fans and community.  
    • Yep I was field level on the scoreboard end throwing ball with Benny when we had that brief lead. Everybody got very excited but it was short lived as Murvil regrouped and went into machine mode. But yeah,  that hit sounded like the crack of a black powder rifle being fire.  I believe Dozier took one like that as a Soph up at Greeneville after on olay block.  
    • Ole Benny boy lol. I forgot about Harder. He was tough as crap. He graduated in ‘09. I went to the OR/Maryville game that year (great game, btw) and he collided with Jacob West (I think was his name) and you could hear it clearly at the top of the visitor bleachers. Man, it was a stick. He could lay some wood son. All those guys were tough, Elliott included.
    • They do have good community support for sure and did when I coached under Z for 4 years. (I was on that staff that turned them around a little from winning 1 game a year to actually being competitive).  Great Kids and Great Community over there.  They have done some good things with the facilities from when i coached too. 
    • I personally will not mind that one bit.  It seems like a really strange fit to me from the git go.
