Arena #95: Murphy Center - Middle Tennessee St. vs. Mississippi

Finding a cheap $98 RT flight from Milwaukee to Nashville meant a chance to get a couple more random venues checked off the list in Tennessee, starting with a short trip south of Nashville to Murfreesboro for a rare opportunity to see a Power 5 conference team play a true road game against a Conference USA school.  Appreciated the free T-shirts and the nearly full building after the last couple games where the fans were few and far between.  Plus it's always fun seeing how one of the better "smaller" conference teams is able to defeat a team from the SEC.

Having an SEC team in their building certainly brought the fans out to this one
