Neyland renovations restarting

[sportsnut624]

Bomb shelters? Sanctuary from zombie infestation? Hiding places in case of an extraterrestrial attack? Refuge for the 2029 return of Apophis? Subterranean tour of the bodies supposedly buried under the field? Secret passage to the realm of the Mole Men?

All of the above obviously!

Th


The ghosts pushed that wounded duck knuckleball field goal over the crossbar at the end of the Bama game. The more ghosts the better to scare the hell out of opponents.

they can also cause a hell of a fumble!!!!!!!!! ask the hogs about them

It's kinda sad that a part of history is having to go. I was hoping they could have worked around that and made the appearance of all those beams a little more attractive. My Uncle stayed in the dorms there way back in the day. I had an Anthropology lab or something there. It's obviously in bad shape, but still hate to see it go. Are all the bodies/cadavers going to be removed, or are they not touching that area?

hope the bodies stay one of the coolest things thats not embraced ,some former players from other teams were scared because of this, should be just another thing every team coming in needs to think about!!!!!!!!!

You've said A LOT of stupid s*** on here, but this takes the cake.

I’m glad the six pack contingent has weighed in on my post. We will have a new stadium in a new location within 15 years. Take your life savings to the cage at the Flamingo and bet it all.

My Dad actually had to stay in the stadium as a dorm room in the 60s .. it leaked and he had a weird roommate lol..I just remembered seeing my advisor in a little cubby hole over there, I can’t imagine lol

I have a friend who lived there in the seventies. He said there were big rats and one guy kept a rat as a pet. I knew a guy who had a rattlesnake in his room.

Eric Stratton,Not a chance for a new site.Best onsite stadium there is.

I am curious about one thing:

Do these renovations start and stop for reasons not related to money?

It’s such a center piece in Knoxville. Could you imagine if it were like Williams Brice?

How about no

Better chance of a retroactive Heisman for Manning.

Will there be an Orange and White Game in April 2023?

My dad was there about 5year before your dad. He was a sports nut and loved the location.

Or in a horror film.

This whole thing is bittersweet to me. The stadium will look awesome when finished but I will sorely miss THE Neyland Stadium from my childhood.
That is hallowed ground and I wish it could always stay the way I remember it as a kid.

Never happen! One of the most epic and iconic stadiums, because of location, in the country. Engineering and technology can transform this stadium into anything we desire. Add as many single seats with seat backs and arm rests as possible is my vote.

 

[NighthawkVol]

I don't know how much they will get done this time. The time frame is to be completed by 2026 so they have a lot of time.

White said it will be a 3 year process, so it won’t look like that next year, but yes, that’s the correct rendering.

Sometimes, but in this situation they stopped because the season started and are now resuming because the home slate has concluded.

Damn ... some dumb $hit gets posted on here. Jeez.

I had a psych class in there (way back when). The most dank, dreary place ever.

Post less.

I've been on the East side for 15 years. The South and East concourses, concessions, and restrooms are an embarrassment. Awesome to hear that our improvements are in the works.

Go Vols!

The seasons and the weather. Obviously, can't do it in the fall football season. Too bad, because that's a great season for construction. Winter is stop and go because of the bad weather fronts that come and go. Spring and Summer are good save for the occasional storms that roll in. Rain they can usually handle, but winds are a problem, like you see a lot in the winter storms and summer squawls.
