Much like the Winter Outdoor Hockey Classic which I would not go to as you are no where near the ice to see whats going on in most places.

With the prices for the game being what they are, why fans were so for wanting it there boggles my mind.
I know why the schools were. Money.

Yuck, all the seats suck. It's worse than when they put basketball games in the middle of a football dome.
My seats will likely be around 50yard line on the finish line side of the track... connections baby...connections! When you know a man that has his name on one of the buildings there at VT you get what you wanna get 
They Why are you not on the sidelines ? Lol.My seats will likely be around 50yard line on the finish line side of the track... connections baby...connections! When you know a man that has his name on one of the buildings there at VT you get what you wanna get
Problem is, the 50 yd line seats are still 100 yd's from the field.

I think they are going to have temporary seating on the sidelines and on the ends. Which will further complicate the lower levels in the grandstands.
Well I have tickets and I'm going to the Bristol event. It should be interesting. They are saying it is sold out with over 150,000 tickets sold. I'm not sure the record will ever been broken. I sure hope the weather is good and that TN dominates.

I honestly do not think it will be that close of a game. Obviously anything can happen, but I will be surprised if TN doesnt win by at least two scores.
Great question. I haven't even looked at them. I believe they are in the end-zone, but not 100% sure. To be honest, this is just going to be a big party. They have also put in a large screen that will be over the field.
Now, when it comes to attendance record..... are they gonna go by tickets sold ..... or Butts in the seats ....
Fair question, but I don't think it will matter. If there are 150k+ tickets out there, 35k people could stay home and the record will still be beat.
If a big tv is needed to watch the game, then I'd rather be in air conditioning with a cooler to my side.
Totally hear ya. That said, it is going to be a big party. Beers will be more expensive than at home, but they will be flowing (along with the whiskey). It is an 8:00 PM kickoff so it shouldn't be too hot.If a big tv is needed to watch the game, then I'd rather be in air conditioning with a cooler to my side.
I understand that .... I'm just curious ....
Butts in the seats is the real way to do it for all games, not how many tickets were sold.
Both methods can vary too much for different reasons
. Often there are far more in the stadium than tickets sold or seats available.
Bama never reports more than the capacity of the stadium itself, Even if, and I've been where it's been far more, there are people standing in the aisles.

So what are your thoughts on your teams upcoming season?
I will look at Bama.

We start with USC in texas. USC has lots of talent, but Saban generally has his teams well prepared for these openers, and I do not see it going any way but a bama win. Possibly big.
Western Kentucky should pose no threat.
Ole Miss. We have them in Oxford, and they are riding a very uncomon (for anyone these days) two game winning streak. However revenge factor will be high, and with all the drama in Oxford, Bama will pull this one out.
Kent state and Kentucky are next, and go down easily (sorry Ramy).
Arkansas could be a sleeper game, and we are on the road, but they dont have the team (IMO) to stay with the Tide for 4 quarters.
Next we come to Tennessee. If there is a stumbling block game, this is it. They were MUCH improved last season, and a few different plays could have won all of their games. I pick them to win the east, and possibly catch us off guard. I look for Bama to play the Vols twice this season.
A&M we have in tuscaloosa, and while it may be close to start, we pull away in the end.
We have LSU in baton rouge, which sounds bad, but Bama has great success in Bryant Denny West, and should beat the corn dogs once again.
Mississippi State doesnt have Dak anymore, and should fall off quite a bit.
Chattanooga. A good FCS team. It wont be enough.
Auburn returns to tuscaloosa for their November reality check. RTR!
So my guess is 11-1, with a trip to atlanta then the CFP.
I will look at Bama.
