State Championships

[EdForHeisman]

Why do we not play the state championships in Nashville? They should be played in the Titans stadium since it is funded by the city.

Hopefully they will be there permanently once they build their indoor stadium

Currently because it’s a grass field. Having that many games would destroy the playing surface. Plus the titans field is historically not great to play on to begin with. 
 

I’ve enjoyed the games in Chattanooga though.

Most of the teams this year only had to go about 2 hours or less. That could change yearly but it worked out well this season.

Ed, there you go again thinking and using common sense!

[Bledsoebtheboys]

Do most of you not understand that these locations put bids in for the state championships and thats how it is awarded?

That makes too much sense for the T$$AA to go for it

MTSU flat lost interest in hosting it which is a large part why it ended up in Cookeville for 10 years.  Vandy was cool, but don't know if they would host it again.  TSSAA picks from bids they receive.

It would be nice for sure. When Waverly was fortunate to play White House there the experience was awesome. The new stadium would be perfect for that.

Don't recall Vandy being cool. TC played there several times in the 90's. They had several empty parking lots & wouldn't allow us to use them. I had to park in Centennial Park, and walk back. Vandy ain't user friendly.

the playing surface is the key thing to keep in mind. thank you for this. in order of priority

1. TSSAA money, how can they make the most to pay their fat bloated bureaucracy
2. playing surface
3. concession sales
4. parking sales
5. not destroying the playing surface
6. staffs of participating schools
300. parents and families of players
999,912. players
