Neyland Stadium Nickname

[Biopsyman]

Exactly. So why the need for a nickname?

I with you Boca... Neyland works to a T

No need for one. It would just be something fun for Vol fans.

Geez Louise, the complaining in this thread is ridiculous. A fun offseason thought experiment doesn't mean we're going to be tearing down signs and rebranding the facilities. In realy life, Neyland Stadium is a name that shouldn't and probably couldn't be improved upon. Relax. Have fun.

The best stadium nicknames are short, straightforward, intimidating, and to-the-point. The Swamp is in a swampy area, The Big House is big, etc.

I love the wordplay of Volhalla. Maybe something like Vol Holler would be cool, since you get the wordplay AND a little regional flair in it. Then again, it's not really a straightforward nickname like most stadiums have.

The House that Neyland Built is a great nickname. (Fun fact that I learned recently: Gen. Neyland actually began a career as a civil engineer, and also actually worked on part of the structural design of the stadium during one of the big renovations. I'd love to see any other football coach stake a claim like that.) But a nickname doesn't work if it's longer than the stadium's official name.

The General just makes me think of crappy, cheaply animated car insurance commercials.

Being right on a riverfront is a feature that's almost uniquely ours. But "The Riverfront" doesn't exactly strike fear in opponents. It sounds more like a lovely place to sip on sweet tea and enjoy the sunset. Maybe people more creative than myself can come up with an intimidating river-themed nickname.

Rocky Top is hard to beat, since the name is already a big part of the program and announcers already call Neyland that from time to time. Out of all the suggestions so far, that's where I'd cast my vote.

Nothing is permanent. Dooley2 is a fresh lesson for you

Touché :hi:

I think in 2009 he wanted the "This is Big Orange Country" sign officially changed to "This is Kiffin Kountry".

It is like getting a tattoo of your girlfriend's name on your neck.

I'd like to formally issue an apology for starting a thread that I felt had a lot of potential for discussion. It's obvious I have offended and angered a large portion of the Volnation universe. Please forgive me for trying to start an interesting conversation.

I am formerly known as Dooley2, so please continue to harass me about it, even though I attempted and succeeded to have my ridiculous name changed.

Sincerely,

A sarcastic man
