Liberty Bowl For State Championship Games

[YBsostupid]

These games have been played in east Tennessee for how many years in a row now?  11, 12, 15?  It's past time for them to be held in the Liberty Bowl again.  That hasn't happened in more than 30 years now.  Having to travel and spend the night before the game in a hotel, with players this age, is a huge disadvantage.  Middle and east TN have not had to do that for decades.  Why can't the Liberty Bowl host them for a 10 year slot?

Tell them to bid on hosting. They haven’t been mentioned as even attempting to bid on the games. What you’re saying is like wanting to win the lottery, but you never buy tickets.

Memphis doesn’t bid for the games, maybe when they renovate the stadium and parking there they will.

Memphis will never host state championships. I think it needs to be back in Nashville/ Vanderbilt.

I completely agree with this!

Memphis? Who wants to travel a great distance just to get mugged, robbed and/or shot? 
 

Serious and legitimate question.

He’s right. I get murdered every time I go to Memphis.

I would say there's a good chance it goes back to Nashville once the new stadium for the Titans is built. As for now, it's likely staying in Chattanooga, unless Cookeville decides to up their bid for the next cycle. I honestly liked the setup in Chattanooga pretty well, as the parking was fairly close and the facilities are nice. The only thing about Cookeville I prefer is the drive (1 hour for me vs 2.5 hours to Chattanooga).

They need to bid on them if they want to get it. Nashville hasn’t bid on it either.

IMO Memphis is not a good idea!

I agree with you. The crime capital of our state probably wouldn’t be ideal.
