Jackson does not, old Lambuth Stadium has nowhere near the capacity. U of M would have to put some major work into it. 

I would personally be down with a Chattanooga, Rutherford County/Nashville, and Clarksville rotation though. I don't see that ever happening, but that would be a nice little arrangement. 

would the minor league baseball facility  be big enough?

The Liberty bowl wouldn’t be a good spot, I’ve heard they are making additions to the stadium and that will be good but that’s been long overdue. 
 

Jackson would be a good spot to host at the Generals stadium, they don’t have a pro team anymore and they can use that stadium to host a big event like spring fling. There’s Unions field that can host to if needed and also Jackson State.  It wouldn’t be a bad thing either because spring fling in Murfreesboro is starting to not even have the championship games for baseball or softball at MTSU. All that is theorizing because at the end of the day they have to bid and win but the possibility would be good. 

And that's why I do believe having it at Jackson would be the best chance for Jackson to host something. I'm fine with football being in Chattanooga as long as each portion of the state host something type of Championship. Now, track would have to go to USJ, but each high school would at least get to host some sport, which would be a win/win for them and the city.

Nobody says Nashville is off the table though. I guess their skyrocketing crime rate is ok. 

Nobody ever hears of someone getting shot at games in Memphis. It’s just not happening. I have been to MANY games in Memphis. The city provides an amazing amount of security. I felt very safe every time I attended a game in Memphis.

"A hotel". For nine teams and all their fans, which many would need to stay considering how far Johnson City is from 75% of the state. 

The bid process includes how many hotel rooms are available in the immediate area.

 

There are 30 hotels within 8-10 miles JC has everything you need. I understand that it will never be in Johnson City and will never be in Memphis either. They should keep biding it out till the Titans build their new stadium and be there forever, because Nashville is a "geographic anomaly" it 4 hours from everywhere!

It's a little more than football. Hosting one of the state tournaments has not and will never be a money maker if we only count football dollars from that weekend. Having that event on campus brings hundreds of players, fans, parents, brothers, sisters, etc to the campus. If just by being there, somebody falls in love with the campus/city and they end up gaining 2 or 3 students that come to the university and stay 4 years for a degree, they will make 10-fold more money off those few students than they will ever make from the tournament. Hosting the games is merely cheap advertising (the people pay to be there!!) for the school. Some campus execs simply see a bigger picture than others while some, (Vanderbilt) maybe just don't need the money.

Your never gonna see a title game hosted at either corner of the state. Truth is, hosting the BCB just isn't that profitable, if it was Nashville or Murfreesboro would be hosting. As it stands, neither city has even shown a interest. If Nashville did, Geodis Park would be a nice option, but you better be prepared to walk. Chattanooga and Cookeville haven't been perfect, but probably the best the TSSAA is going to get unless it magically becomes more lucrative to host

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
