No, just being honest.

UT reduced the capacity of TBA and created a better environment. No one seems to care that the capacity is now less than Rupp....which was a huge deal when it was being built.

I was sitting in the Swamp 2 years ago and the when the attendance was announced some UT fans around me laughed and were making fun of UF (although no UF fans were around) by saying, "nice crowd" etc.....never mind UT was getting their ass kicked on the field.

How stupid of a thought process is that? I would rather have atmosphere than capacity. Would you rather drive a school bus or Ferrari?

Once we start winning again...I have a feeling we'll add more seats again. I can't imagine A&M will finish this project anytime soon though.

Yeah it did. Bama counts seating capacity, or the number of tix that can be sold. UT counts stadium capacity, which includes media, staff, etc. Bryant-Denny actually has more available seats than Neyland by a few hundred.

I hate to say, but neyland is already one of the least comfortable stadiums I've been to. No need to add more seats(benches).

I don't understand any stadium expansion within our conference. Look at the numbers for major college football attendance. They are down practically across the board. A&M is going to look foolish for doing this within a decade of its completion. All stadiums will begin downsizing and moving to chair backs and luxury seats, like the NFL, before long. The age of the giant stadium is coming to close.

You may have something here. A few months ago I was bored and looked on UT 's site about season fix. Well you can click on each section and count the total seats in each section. I came up with 96 or 98k. Now that doesn't count the skyboxes and the terrace area was tricky to count.

Wow Vandyland can't even seat 40,000? If they expanded it they could seat more Vol Fans from Middle Tennessee.

Vandy, Missou and even the Miss schools could sell a lot more seats. I think SC sells out a lot of their home games as well.

I'm sorry. I thought you said you counted every seat in the stadium because you were bored. I was going to ask you if you've ever touched a woman or I was going to tell you to get a hobby. But I must have read it wrong that you counted every seat in Neyland. :fool:

If we were trying to play a football game in one probably the school bus
