Michigan whining over BoB

Saw this in an article, what do you think?
Indianapolis Motor Speedway: Holds 257,325 people with infield capacity that reaches 400,000 people.
Michigan vs. Ohio State in the first regular season meeting not held in Ann Arbor or Columbus. Who wouldn’t watch that?

If Neyland wears a size 1, and Bristol wears a size 3, Indy wears a size 14:

Yes, those three images are all to the same scale. :)

At Indy, even these would not be enough:

I'm not a race car fan so had no clue, but this sure puts it in perspective.

Where do you put the field?

Harbaugh was caught picking his nose, and eating the findings during their game this week. So I don't care about any opinions from the fighting booger eaters

Here is the article which also mentions using Las Vegas, Texas, Charlotte and Daytona as possible venues For a huge game and which possible matchups.

Daytona is almost as big as Indy, so that's out as well.

The other three (Las Vegas, Texas, and Charlotte) are all 1.5 mile tracks. So they're not quite as ridiculous...there's not room for an entire small town inside those three.

They are all the same rough design, size and shape. Here's how they look compared to Neyland and Bristol:

As before, all images are at the same scale.

Go Vols!


p.s. According to that article, only Charlotte of these three venues would break the 156,990 record we just set. Wikipedia says different, though. According to it, Charlotte only seats 94,000, and Las Vegas only 116,000...but Texas Speedway (the one in the image above), supposedly seats 181,655. IDK which is right, between Wikipedia and that article.

Interesting to see the designs since I am not knowledgeable with the tracks. So it sounds like the best bet to break our record would be a Texas vs. Oklahoma match up at the Texas Motor Speedway.

Shoot, you could probably fit 5 or 6 football fields inside TMS, play a bunch of games simultaneously. Do it like the NCAA wrestling tournament .... "Now Playing on Field 1, Houston and TCU, Field 2 aTm and Oklahoma State, Field 3 Texas and Oklahoma, Field 4 LSU and Baylor"

Honestly, the best bet to break our record would be two new fan bases in Bristol again, in a few years. That's about as big as a race track can get and still reasonably host a football game.

But we hold a trump card there. According to DeerPark, the Volunteers have right of first refusal for any future ball games hosted at Bristol.

Go Vols!

The TMS is a nightmare (logistically) around race week. They basically shut the town of Justin down. They're still building alternate roadways, so maybe it'll become viable soon.
