You'd just have to fix that sign when they're done with renovations to the stadium.

Less thanks to club seating. They're going in the wrong direction if you ask me.

Although I dig the name "the rock" I think it's probably a bad idea to associate our stadium with anything relating to criminals given our history the last couple of years.....I'm not bashing...just observing.

Amen. That is surpassed in stupidity only by the aforementioned growl/moan/choking sound.

And the fact that it was preceded by "SICK EM SMOKEY!!" or whatever was said.

Why don't they ever play the "Smokey's on the prowl" or "sick 'em smokey" with smokey growling on the PA system. I loved that :(

better get use to Rocky Top, the unofficial fight song of Tennessee Volunteers because by the end of the day you will know the words to it !

With that I absolutely agree. When I was in Bengal Brass, and we went to the 2004 women's final four to play you guys in New Orleans, I, personally, made a pot of money, $1 per entry, which would be awarded to whichever of my fellow band members could guess how many times the vol band would play rocky top, in any incarnation. 30 of us committed a dollar each, so the winner, my friend Brandon, made $30 off of his guess, 13, which was the closest to reality, which was 14, I think. Frankly, I was surprised, because it sure as HELL seemed like more to me, even though I counted each one. :crazy:

However, to the topic at hand, I think sticking with Neyland is your best option. It just sounds better. Neyland Stadium.

By the way, purely out of curiosity, who was Neyland?

I had the same reaction, but I didn't call him out because I can't name any older LSU coaches, so...

The final phase of construction/renovation to Neyland will brick/concrete/stonework the facade of the stadium, restoring it to how it looked in the 50's and 60's before the upperdeck steel work was added.

All of that masonry brings to mind some other nickname possibilities:

The Quarry
The Brickhouse
Stonehenge

That being said, my favorite nickname would be "Toughest stadium for visiting teams in the nation". I would REALLY like to have that one back. :rock:
