Too bad they're no longer the single A for the Braves anymore like they were when I was growing up. I'm a NC transplant into Knoxville for the past 6 months and I'm just soaking up all the major differences between the ACC atmosphere vs the SEC atmosphere. No doubt SEC brings a lot more energy to most major sporting events from what I have witnessed. The level of play is much more competitive in the SEC as well which is always a good thing. SEC is becoming a much better basketball conference than the ACC as of late too.

In baseball it’s become the SEC and everyone else, don’t think that was true 10 years ago.

I’m a bit surprised at concrete being poured with the cold forecast. Maybe someone in construction knows better than me, but I thought cold and curing were not ideal. Granted, most of my concrete experience is in Haiti, and it was not at all too cold there.

Concrete can be poured in cold weather, but special precautions must be taken to prevent it from freezing and to ensure it cures properly. It's important to keep the concrete temperature above 40°F during the curing process to maintain its strength. They can create a tent of sorts out of plastic or tarps and can force warm air to prevent freezing.

Cold is actually a good time for the concrete to cure.

I used to work of Air Liquide in Millington, TN. They were pouring a large floor foundation for the computer warehouse in the mid-90s. The actually came to us for dry ice pellets to add to the concrete to prevent it from getting too hot during the dog days of summer.

Welcome… I guess.
We play on the surface preferred by Tony Vitello. That’s good enough for me and most around these parts. There are a few that would disagree, but for a relatively short college season, turf plays a huge role in completing the schedule.

How do you feel about sacrificing a base runner by bunting?

Yes. This is a test.

Cool, yes but not cold.

Sorry if this a repeat question…but have seating sections changed with the renovations?

 

[VOLLeeann]

Does "Sold Out" for season tx = all the new seats or are there any new seats?

 

[taylorvol]

Yes. The A B C D E is gone. It’s now 3 digit numerical sections such as 111.

Thanks. And if third party tix say “216?” Where’s that?

It’s the old E. 2nd level on 3rd base side.

It sucks that they got rid of the student section being near the infield

Imagine buying season tickets, then not attending games. Shame.

Happened all season last season

But for all who want to complain about not getting to see the Vols, I have season tickets and could not go to hardly any midweek games because of distance and there were at least half the games I could not give the tickets away. I was definitely not the only one. People said who wants to go see them play a midweek game. Can you give me the SEC weekends?

I so wish I could have taken you up on a midweek game. Living 7 hours from Knoxville makes that hard lol. Haven’t been to a UT baseball game since 2003.

 

[preacherman20]

That was mine. I live closer now but don't think I will do mid-weeks very often. I'm already filling some for people who have never gone. Or for kids birthdays or such.

The students a year or two ago…I agree.

But last years students that sat there were embarrassing. I sat 10’ from them. For the weekend series, you were lucky if you had a dozen or so that actually showed any energy. The rest just sat.

I’m assuming they changed to assigned seats for them or something. The only time the vibe was close to the Legends group of 2021/2022 was when it rained and thinned out the socialites and the animals (I use it as a term of endearment) could congregate down front. I’m honestly hoping getting them out to right will bring some of that back.
