Let TSU really play at home

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

This is a little unusual for me, but I agree with Joe Biddle: TSU deserves to play its home games on its campus. Playing games at LP Field was a consequence of the original NFL stadium proposal. TSU was permitted to play games at the Titans’ stadium in order to reduce minority resistance to the roughly $300 million dollars required to build the facility (and especially to tens of millions in state funding included in that total). What TSU really wanted was an upgraded Hale Stadium, the outdated field that alumni and fans call “The Hole.” The Tiger community should have an on-campus stadium that it can show off with pride, not a “home” stadium in name only.
