My goal right now is waking up tomorrow morning. 2016? Damn. I hope I'm on medical marijuana by then.

And since posts here are never gone, I'm sure none of those remarking why they won't go will not come back to complain about the attendance.

I will still go and tailgate, and I may go just for the atmosphere, but I won't complain about the attendance, the people in the front row, will be further from the field that the people in the last row of Neyland.

The view will be terrible, bring a headset, and listen to the radio broadcast while you watch, because the view will be atrocious. You go for the circus atmosphere.

Since I can look out my front window and see Bristol Motor Speedway, yeah I will be there. It will not be a fan friendly stadium for football but it will be something to see.

That is Farmer Bob's and I would say Earhart on the front side of the track will be open for camping and parking. I am sure the free parking lot on 394 will be open for vehicle parking with a free shuttle running from it. Most camp grounds that are open on race weekend will be open if nothing else to park cars. I'd say they will not miss the chance to charge someone to park.

It'll add over 100 miles to my 350 mile trip (X2).
I'm making tentative plans to be there. I'm a procrastinator, so its hard for me to plan 3 years in advance.

Well I drive 600 miles (roundtrip) to see the Vols a few times a year; I don't see where another couple hundred miles are going to bother me.

This is your team and it's also the chance to be part of your team's history.

The atmosphere will be amazing, however, the view of the game will be atrocious.

So, people that want to watch the game, will stay home. Those who want to experience the crazy atmosphere will go.

I'm still torn. Maybe I'll go and tailgate and watch on my HD TV in the RV... I just don't know

Come tailgate then, me and my fellow Bristol Vol fans will make the tailgate worth it, I even like the idea of the HD TV.

We provide the hospitality and you provide the TV!

Would love to see a future matchup of Tenn -v- Clemson at Bristol. That would make for a lot of Orange.
