| Chattanooga had the best deal for the TSSAA big wigs as well as the best stadium and surrounding things to do! | |

It only appeals to the Chattanooga teams. Most everyone wanted to keep the game in Middle Tennessee.

| I go to Tennessee Tech. I don't see why they made this deal at all. I'm guessing it's for the remote teams in East Tennessee. The smaller stadium will give it a more lively feel. The new field at Tech is really nice though. | |

Overall - Chattanooga is the most attractive place by far to host it if you throw out the driving distance though. | |

When I was in high school my baseball team had to travel over 500 miles to the Spring Fling in Memphis on a school bus.

TTU pleases many less teams than MTSU. The point of being at MTSU is they are the geographic center of the state. | |

| I think Chatty would be the best place. I could honestly care less, but I think it would have been the best location. Murfesboro would have been better than Cookeville

Seriously, f' all the other places, Chattanooga teams usually have to do all the traveling in the postseason, anyway.

| Seriously the TSSAA is a joke and has always been a joke. There all about the money. Now that Ronnie Carter is out, hopefully McNese and Childress have more sense than Carter.

| Them moving this event away from Murfreesboro is a travesty. In a geographically challenged state like Tennessee......Murfreesboro is the most logical location for the event, now that Vandy has gone to grass.
Terrible decision by the TSSAA........I bet it kills their Saturday 4A-5A-6A gates. Might be a little better deal for the ET teams, but moving the event farther from your two largest cities is just stupid. | |

| This will be the largest crowd tucker stadium has ever seen...by a long shot!
I think Cookeville's location on I-40, plus the hotel and restaurant selection had an impact on this decision | |
