GG22 Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Spike016 Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Neyland Stadium! Like all other states it needs to be at the home state stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubthumper Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Attendance numbers were noticeably low for all games. Looked very empty in comparison to years past. Economic hardship probably played a role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
