Looks like the end zone seats will be larger than the sideline seats. Looks a bit weird.

They want to make sure all those visiting fans are comfortable.

Honest question:

why would anyone donate money to that program?

 

[dobre_shunka]

That rendering is totally unrealistic. The stands are full with people wearing black. When has that ever happened?

Would triple their average attendance.

In all seriousness.. I think I remember a season with Franklin where they had a pretty good crowd. Can’t remember if it was a sellout. But that’s literally the only time.

Because they think the next James Franklin is coming through the door any day now

Incredibly nice to help make the “Visiting” team feel more comfortable. Maybe they’ll allow opposing teams to do other Gameday traditions like the Vol Walk or Auburn to Fly the Eagle.

Okay, maybe I'll believe it with SCAR since one of their colors is black.

Ive lived here since late 80s and Vandy hasnt come close to selling out their stadium with their own fans. Visitors always make up 15,000 if not more of a full house.

Dying.

Dying.

The Eagle?

The Eagle?

Has crippling arthritis. Eagles that cannot fly are in a serious health crises.

I had heard that it was retiring, but I wasn’t sure if they had another lined up to replace it .

I guess the bird is like Smokey except there will be a name change. Not Spirit 2.0 or some such.
