State Championship Game

[TnVols23]

I was just wondering, has the TSSAA ever considered moving the state championship to Neyland Stadium for one year to experiment or anything? Does anyone else think that this would be an awesome Idea?

It would be cool, but will never happen

I would be opposed to that idea. As it is, we lose a lot of atmoshphere with only 5000-10000 attending at MTSU.

not a good idea for two reasons.

 

1. the fans dont even fill up the mtsu stadium so why would you move to a bigger stadium.

AND

2. it wouldnt be fair to have the state championship in east tennessee because the west tennessee fans would have to drive way to far to see their team play. it is good where it is in a big enough stadium in the middle of the state. Dont fix something that isn't broken.

The only thing I don't like about MTSU is the field. I don't know about you but I think High School games should be played on grass.

 

I would like to see MTSU put in the new Field Turf that is being used in a lot of college & Pro teams it looks a lot like real grass and is not as bad for injuries!

yeh go ahead and tell mtsu that, it only costs a fortune to remove turf into put in somethin different, id like to see that happen, middle isnt able to freely spend their money like the other universities just keep that in mind. personally i like the turf because the game goes faster

I agree,the games should not be played on turf.Most kids have never played on turf before.I know its this big special thing to play on turf in Dec,but IMO it is not a good idea.As far as having the games at Neyland Stadium,I would love it since its close,but its not fair for western team to team to have to travel out to Knoxville,just likes it would not fair for eastern to have to travel out to Memphis.

like the old saying goes" you cant please everybody"

What about if they moved the games to the titans stadium. Its grass, a nice stadium not too much bigger, and in middle tennessee?

[ChattyBaseball]

that would be awesome but i highly highly doubt it cuz its a NFL field and they play their in december, so there is probably no chance of that happening

I believe that the games should be played at different places every year... Knoxville, Memphis, and Nashville... I believe that everyone might like it because everyone would have to travel every year... Have it a Neyland one year, Memphis one year, and MTSU one year, rotate it every year... It would make people happy in my opinion...

ShaneC, I don't think that would be a bad idea.

 

I like playing on turf. They just replaced their old turf in 1999-2000 and gave some of the old one to Riverdale.
