Texas Motor Speedway next for game?

Texas Motor Speedway interested in hosting college football game. Texas/Oklahoma or Texas/A&M game most likely preferred matchups.

I wonder if they could even get the Red River Rivalry away from the Dallas fair/Cotton Bowl. I don't know how that contract or whatever works.

It'll never leave from that.

This is not even remotely feasible, either. They can fit 4 stadiums in that track.

We did it first. What's this follow the leader. Lol

People thought watching the game at Bristol was bad. This will go horribly.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Alabama vs Auburn at Talladega!

Bristol is a half mile track and the sight lines were very poor for our game. Texas is 1.5 mile track. This is an incredibly stupid idea.

If they could put the field between the pits and front straight away, that opens up the whole main grand stand. Bring seats around the infield and this really isn't as hard as y'all are making it out to be.

Doable? Yes.

But it sounds like a waste of time, given the size of the track and the distance from the field to the fans. We're talking 3 times the size of Bristol, this ain't just one of them racin deals.

Always trying to make a dollar.
When your commentators have to use a video screen to call the game there is something horribly wrong. Im happy Tennessee was a part of BB but that's where it needs to start and end.

You're assuming they are going to use the back stretch for seating as well. There's a large enough gap that they could bring in portable seating in pit road and around it to connect to the front stretch/main grand stand. It's really not that inconceivable from that standpoint.

I really enjoyed being a part of B@B this year, however I would not go again if they did it. Too hard to follow the game on the field. Don't like watching games on a Jumbotron.

Florida vs Ga at Daytona. Talking about irrelevant.
