Should have been this way since the beginning.

The Clarion Ledger for decades tried to create a "Big 4" in the state, with JSU and USM included. Glad those days are over.

reason why USM isn't hosting is because they'll be hosting the MS/AL all star game.

Unfortunately USM will host it in 2018.

Glad to hear that. VHS and DWS are much nicer and in a much safer area than Mississippi Veterans Memorial. They need to tear that stadium down.

I think this is a great move. Until we get a new stadium in Jackson (which will never happen), the games need to be held in respectable venues.

At the least, Jackson State needs to pay for it without state money.

This is gonna have major economic impact for both cities. Oxford's is going to be a major showcase.

Well, yeah.

But if they build something that's publicly used in the way Veterans Memorial is (or, rather, should be) then I think it's reasonable for the state to foot part of the bill.

Jackson needs something like a new stadium or arena close to downtown.

Pretty sure they were given that opportunity for a new stadium when the M-Braves first started looking at building sites and Jackson said "Nah."
