Exactly. TSSAA caters to the East. Play the games in Martin or at the civic center in Jackson and see how East Tn fans react.

I would love to use UT Martin or even University of Memphis or the Oman Arean in Jackson! TSAA definitely caters to Middle & East! Never once have thought about West Tn! It should alternate each year or every other year

Isn't Memphis  still shut down and the sheep fenced in? Bring it to the Upper Cumberland Cookevegas!

More Centrally located for who? Not West Tn so speak for yourself! MTSU is 2 hours from me in Jackson Tn, Tech is 3 hours & 10 minutes away! Maybe a better venue but how about East & Middle Tennessee come play in Memphis! Why do West Tn allows have to travel? 

Because Memphis didn’t put anything down in regards to hosting a state tournament. Besides, where do you believe Memphis would host a state tournament in basketball?

We not talking about from you! We are talking Middle of the state of Tennessee! 

You make no sense at all. If they have it in Cookeville it will take some team from the east around 3+ hours to get there, it’s about the same for teams coming from the west so how is that taking care of teams from the east? East TN teams have to travel just as far or farther than west teams every year.

Of course I make no sense lol only East team in AA is Fulton, nobody else matter lol you have teams like Upperman that basically is a home game! That why I said rotate each year middle, East, west!

Lol Fulton is terrible. But I do agree with you that middle TN have it made every year. But there’s really no other way to do it. If they rotate it would be some long drives. Just imagine if they had it in Johnson City next year. How long would that take you? And it takes me 2:45 to get to MTSU

yea I know that was only a few teams from East Tn that usually makes it lol

 

6 hours & 10 minutes from me to JC! 2 hours & 15 minutes to make it to MTSU .

It is a decided advantage to those teams that go all the time if at same gym  /not home court but more homey than those that don’t go but very rarely / GLASS HOUSE can be very intimidating / so my advice go more often /MTSU only logical place to have it / most of time players could care less

MTSU is not going to have it. They are too busy writing parking tickets to worry about basketball. At this point Gibson County Fans may drive to FLA as long as they can get in after last years cancellation if we make it. I personally think it will definitely be closer for the Clarkrange’s, Upperman’s and Pickett County’s of the world but it is what it is. I just hope they find a gym where fans can go. If it is Cookeville, more power to Cookeville. Just watched TN and Kansas while ago and there are probably as many fans in HS gyms as there are in colleges right now. Time to play ball and let the fans in.

Under the past contract, TSSAA gets 40% of concessions and all ticket sales.  Murfreesboro Chamber of commerce pays most of the MTSU fees but I am still trying to see where TSSAA keeps from losing money if there is even a limited number of fans.
