That's why I included city government and COC's in my post. Everyone in the community stands to gain in some form from hosting a state championship tournament (or multiple games on multiple days), with lodging and food being foremost. I have no idea how individual potential venues arrive at their respective final bids, but it stands to reason that hosting would be more attractive to local government than simply whether the actual venue turns a profit. 

Spot on as usual sir ! The venue itself  is almost what we in the restaurant industry call a “loss leader” if it can break even on labor and maintence it will certainly gain in consession sales  ! But mana oh man the economic impact as a whole is huge ! Kinda goes back to what my paw paw said “ some folks will step over a dollar to pick up a dime “” Chattanooga is already a tourism based town and boy will they reap some mighty big benefits from their win !

Any Chinese buffet in Chattanooga will be a “loss leader” if me and Pride come visit. Last week I was permanently banned from China House in Milan....

Chef Lin a few miles East on 24 is a good one.  But if you want a restaurant with a plethora of menu items and a load of portions, and a HUGE piece of pie/cake for dessert, then you should definitely try City Cafe downtown just a few miles into downtown from the stadium.

Well, if we all have the chance to make it to the big game, we all can meet up there to eat. That is, depending on the times of the games of course.
