Tri-Star Classic moves to Knoxville
This weekend's Tri-Star Classic tournament March 2-4 will have a new location, as the University of Tennesse announced Tuesday it would host the Tri-Star Classic at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville. The Tennessee Smokies stated in their official release that, "due to extensive field repair this fall, the field at Smokies Stadium has not fully healed. The University of Tennessee has graciously allowed the event to continue, and the Tri- Star Classic will be played at Lindsey Nelson Stadium to allow the field to mend prior to the 2018 Smokies season."
The tournament which was initially scheduled to take place at Smokies Stadium in Kodak, Tenn., involves ETSU, Tennessee, Memphis and MTSU. Game times have been altered and can be found below.
Changes have also been made to the tournament schedule as well. The complete weekend schedule is as follows:
Friday, March 2 3:00 p.m. - Tennessee (H) vs. ETSU 7:00 p.m. - MTSU (H) vs. Memphis
Saturday, March 3 Noon - Tennessee (H) vs. Memphis 4:00 p.m. - ETSU (H) vs. MTSU
Sunday, March 4 Noon - Memphis (H) vs. ETSU 4:00 p.m. - Tennessee (H) vs. MTSU
*(H) indicates home team for each game. Tennessee will be home for all three games, while all other teams will serve as the home team once.
