TSSAA announces venue changes for Spring Fling baseball and track championships

Rutherford County will continue to host Spring Fling but the state baseball and track championships will have new homes.

Instead of being held at Middle Tennessee State, the baseball tournament will spread out at local high schools while the track and field championships will move to Rockvale High School. 

The changes announced Wednesday are due to MTSU's capacity limits at Hayes Stadium for track and Reese Smith Jr. Field for baseball.

Spring Fling is scheduled May 25-28 and spectators will be encouraged to wear masks and allow for adequate physical distancing from those not in their household as part of the latest TSSAA COVID-19 regulations.

For the seven sports comprising Spring Fling, they will be conducted at 13 different venues around Murfreesboro.

Boys soccer will be held at the Richard Siegel Soccer Complex, softball  at McKnight and Star*Plex Fields and tennisat the Old Fort Park Tennis Complex.

Division ll-AA  will be the only baseball tournament  not held in Murfreesboro and will be played at Wilson Central. Middle Tennessee Christian School will host the Division ll-A tournament.

Riverdale and Stewarts Creek will host the Class A tournament while Smyrna and Blackman share Class AA and Oakland and Siegel get Class AAA.

All three public school championships will be held May 28 with Blackman hosting the Class A game, Siegel the site for Class AA and Oakland hosting Class AAA.
