The new Nashville soccer stadium, Geodis Park, would be outstanding. Centrally located in the state, a good size at 30,000 capacity (could have had some sellouts in the '80s and '90s), and a very nice venue, including a roof over the seating areas. 

The fact that it is a soccer stadium give me the heeby jeebies.

Not sure what the final paid attendance numbers will be for this 3 day event, but I can say with certainty,  attendance numbers were low.  More so than last year.

Don't get me wrong, Chattanooga is a great place to host this event and they offer everything one needs to enjoy themselves.  If I had a pick, this would be my venue. Of course I'm biased as most folks are. It's just that I was a bit disappointed in the attendance numbers.

I honestly don't know if hosting them in a more centralized location would help that much with attendance numbers. I'm sure it would help some but I wouldn't expect a drastic improvement. Nowadays there are more ways than ever of being able to watch/stream games online, I honestly prefer watching at home myself just from the standpoint of being able to see the action better.

Neyland Stadium! Like all other states it needs to be at the home state stadium. 

I think a problem with that as others have mentioned is that Neyland is so large, the place would look so empty. Also, does Neyland have a natural grass surface? I've heard that mentioned before as a reason the games weren't played at Nissan Stadium

All good points about being able to watch/stream.  You can't beat your own easy chair.

Of all the venue's this 3 day event has been played, Chattanooga ranks 1st on my list. 

I even asked guys I've met that attend all these games every single year what they prefer and they all speak highly of Chattanooga because what all the City can offer.

Chattanooga offers a lot for sure, it's a great place to host them. 

Out of curiosity, would Cookeville be at the bottom of your list? I haven't attended the event in Chattanooga yet, but I have been to the other locations. I feel like most if not all of the options mentioned in this thread would be better than having them in Cookeville again.

I admittedly haven't been to Tucker Stadium in nearly 20 years. Maybe they've put in some work on it, but that place used to be a dump. Even if it's a nice place now, Cookeville is the pits, and the weather up on the plateau in early December almost always seems to be... Unfavorable.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
