This is the first bid under the new TSSAA guidelines, which requires a minimum monetary bid amount. For football, that bid is $231,000 per year. Carter chose not to disclose Chattanooga and Cookeville's bid amount.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reported Friday that the Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation planned on submitting a bid, but it would be well below the minimum bid requirement. Messages left with the organization was not returned Friday night on if it submitted a bid.
Seven cities Chattanooga, Cookeville, Johnson City, Knoxville, Murfreesboro, Memphis and Nashville had asked to receive information on the bid.
The winning bidder receives all the gate receipts, parking and concession revenues from the games, which will include two Division II championship games and six Division I games in a three-day span. Ticket prices have been increased from $10 to $12 beginning next season.
