It’s Football, Soccer, Cross Country, Volleyball and Golf Time in Tennessee! TSSAA corporate sponsors play an integral part in the TSSAA State Championships. TSSAA would like to thank BlueCross BlueShield, Governors Highway Safety Office, Tennessee Dairy Farmers, Baptist Sports Medicine, Musco Sports Lighting, and Fair Play for their continued support of the TSSAA and high school athletics.

BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee is proud to support its commitment to TSSAA through the BlueCross Championship Series. The BlueCross Championship Series is designed to recognize athletic excellence and sportsmanship in high schools across the state. A complete, detailed breakdown of the BlueCross Championship Series criteria is available online at www.tssaa.org.

Southeast United Dairy Industry Association- The TSSAA is pleased to announce its partnership with the Southeast United Dairy Industry Association, Inc.

The Real Value of Sports Lighting Provided by Musco Lighting

One of the most important facility decisions a municipality or sports organizations will make is determining whether to add lighting. Quality sports lighting can provide multiple benefits that will add value to a venue decades after the initial investment. Administrators and volunteer-based organizations across the country have benefitted from strategic lighting initiatives that can make a significant impact on a program's participation, revenues and scheduling availability.

Why not light?

Sports lighting discussions regarding outdoor facilities limited to daytime usage typically start with a fundamental question, "Why should we light our field?" The answer consists of reasons ranging from convenience to expansion to improved finances.

One of the most critical factors in the analysis of lighting a facility is the ability to increase practice times and competition, which can directly impact a program's expansion goals. More practices and more games often equals more players. Plus, the popularity of youth athletics and adult recreational sports, combined with adult work schedules, leave many communities struggling to supply enough playing surfaces.

Lighting is the cost-effective solution that provides room for everyone. It lends scheduling flexibility to not only spur participation but service growing demand. This trend is illustrated in southern states where daytime heat and expansion have led to the development of all-night leagues and midnight practices– concepts gaining momentum.

Convenience generates revenue

From another convenience standpoint, lighted fields and evening games afford working parents– many who are coaches and volunteers– more opportunities to attend games and be involved. It also helps organizations schedule games and events to accommodate families with members playing at different levels and different sites.

Additionally, for athletes and the greater community, few experiences match the sense of pride and excitement that comes from competing 'under the lights'.

Enhancing a field with quality sports lighting increases gate receipts, and also generates additional revenue from increased concession stand sales, paid parking and additional tournaments.

New Musco lighting and monitoring systems have allowed the Novi Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department in Michigan to expand play to more than 180 baseball and softball teams, rebuild community programming and continue winning bids to host national ASA tournaments.

Efficient alternative to new construction

From a capital standpoint, illuminating an existing field can double its use for about half the cost of new considering the rising cost of materials and land acquisition, plus the grading, drainage and sod necessary to properly prep a field site.

Upon completion of the playing surface and adjacent areas, facility amenities such as fencing, bleachers, bathrooms, dugouts, parking lots, concession stands and press boxes must be built and maintained to accommodate participants and visitors.

Timing is another key factor. Lighting installations are faster than building new fields, and can create a playable field within six to eight weeks compared to the lengthy timeframe involved in new field construction which may take several seasons to accomplish from concept to completion.

With ever-tightening operational budgets and a growing emphasis on sports and fitness, the decision to add sports lighting makes good financial sense and deepens community pride.
