I like it! I guess the only possible sites for this would be Martin, or Memphis. 

I do not think Bethel has the facilities to handle this. 

They don’t. Personally we should be like other states, if you have a NFL team play the games there! Nissan stadium!

AP has a really nice stadium. 

After the tornado damage they replaced the stadium with a very nice upgrade

Bingo! Best place to have it period. The geographical location is fair for both sides of the bracket. Parking is not an issue, venue is awesome and it would be a great experience for the teams that earn the right to play in the game. Plenty of places to eat and stay close to the venue.

Gotcha, last time I was TTU the football field was turf. Has been changed back to grass?

It is turf, but unless it's been redone lately it's like carpet on concrete.

Is this a long term deal, or year to year?

Venues bid on the rights to host the "event". I think it's a four year deal, but not certain.

It doesn’t matter how you slice it, PC is the gold standard of metro football. Numbers don’t lie! Far as winning the state the day to day nonsense our coaches go tho, I’m not surprised we can even get out the second round let alone go to state like we have. Alcoa’s of the world don’t have to worry about if their kids have ate when at home, or miss practice to watch little brother or sister. All they have to do is coach so you can’t compare the two!!!

I don't understand this post at all. Alcoa has kids playing from all kinds of backgrounds. Kids from every public school in this state have issues that every coach has to worry about. Schools in East Tn have the same problems middle and west do. Kids from low income , single parent households are not exclusive to metro areas either. I have fed kids before games when I know it's the best they have eaten all week and sent plates home for their families. I know kids that have had to miss practice to cut hay or other family things. Upper east Tennessee kids. Knoxville has lost promising young athletes this year to gun violence and this is what you got? East Tennessee privilege? PUHLEEZZZ...

Heck yea! Great idea. I'm all in on this. To heck with my other thoughts. This one wins, period! It is in the middle of the state, it would great experience for all the players that get to walk on the field, Nashville has plenty of facilities to handle the people. This idea takes the cake home for me.

It’s game day! Looking forward to a great game tonight. Safe travels to Pearl Cohn on the trip down. If you’ve never been to Jim Carroll stadium, if you come to the parking lot at the gym end of the school, you’ll be right at the visitors side entrance.

PB & J is not expensive and I know coaches who provide kids with food all year long.  It is part of coaching in metro (Shelby, Davidson and Knox Counties) if the coaches truly care.  I would assume PC does some of this too.
