Every time this comes up -
1998 Florida, the others that usually get listed are above - but nothing was ever as loud. We had 10,000 more people in there than we do now, and the atmosphere was just beyond.
I suspect December 20 will maybe match it. We will have 10,000 less- but the whole place will be Vol fans. Florida had probably 12000 at that game - it was essentially a NC playoff game in September- this WILL be a NC playoff game, and the most important game in the history of the building. And the opposing team will only have 3500 tix (plus the few thousand who pay a fortune)- so the total net will be MORE Vols than 1998.
Get your lungs ready, and leave the little kids at home. 60 minutes of ear splitting terror!
