Surprised MTSU and Murphreesboro haven’t gone after this with as much success they have with Basketball.

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

Serious and legitimate question.

You could say the same for nooga

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

You are right, Memphis would be a nightmare for that. They don’t care about stuff like the State Championship. They did baseball back in early 2000s until Murfreesboro thankfully took over that

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?

Liberty Bowl won't be able to host it currently do to stadium set up. They can, however, potentially host it whenever the stadium is finished renovating and when Liberty Park is completed.

Please be kind! Memphis is an amazing city with tradition and lots of culture! Something that some cities don't have anymore.   Just be kind!

Memphis is not a good idea. Martin is though! Perfect size stadium, has turf and not too far from Huntingdon for the next 4 yrs.

Martin is the perfect size stadium!  It would be a great atmosphere for a championship!

Murfreesboro or Nashville should be it. Put it in the middle of the state.

But Murfreesboro and Nashville have to make the winning bids.

I’m NOT in favor of EVER having the HS Playoffs at The Liberty Bowl. Period. The place is in a entirely Creepy, Crime Ridden, part of town. I’ve never felt safe going to or from a game there. Bars on all dwellings for blocks in all directions for a 5mi radius from the stadium. I feel empathy for the residents. But it’s not a suitable environment for kids. Regardless IF you must go.  Just keep your $ tight and be safe.

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

I have heard when the new Stadium is built they will be in the mix.
