I can't wait, hope there are buses out of Knoxville to take us. It was a challenge to get out of Neyland after the UGA game and there were only 102,000+ of us.

People were so bottlenecked outside the doors, couldn't even get to the bus for an hour.

Already got friends from Maryland and Texas who will be Vol fans that day asking me to get us all tickets. Definitely will be hyped for the next three years. Looking forward to the brick by brick foundation to be one gigantic solid brick wall by that time. Freshmen of Team 117 will be seniors on Team 120. GBO -- Rise to the Top!!

Not sure how I feel about this, other than the novelty of playing in front of 160000. One might question, does this diminish Neyland Stadium's "brand?" Calling it "the last great coliseum?" Eh, but Bristol is also a venerable edifice, so I'm OK with the game. As long as a game there doesn't become anything that happens more than maybe once every 4-5 yrs or so. UT should focus on making Neyland the best it can be. Maybe add a few thousand seats, so we can at least have more seats that that f'ing hole in Columbus.

I agree with your sentiments OTTB, but I don't think we have any reason to worry. Neyland speaks for itself. This is simply another tool used to get UT and VT more media hype nationally. And it's working.

The last great coliseum has been the marketing nickname for BMS for a while, has nothing to do with Neyland's "brand"
