Not bad for a football school!

 

[LadyinOrange]

I am really surprised. I figured we'd be WAYYY on down the list.

 

[redneckdave]

as much as id like to belive that it seems like the numbers have been inflated a bit. I was at almost every home game last year and there was never a crowd there and some games it looked like anly a couple thousand. But then again it is a big arena and most of the other schools dont have nearly the capacity. so i could be wrong



regardless
Bruce will have us near the top of that list in a short time.

Me too! But like Dave said, Bruce will have us in the top 10 within the next few years!

 

[LadyinOrange]

What do y'all wanna bet that the first basketball game will be PACKED this year??

That's almost a gurantee! :rocks:

 

[LadyinOrange]

I just hope Pearl can bring some respect back to our men's program.

 

[redneckdave]

I know Im gonna be there Sure hope the rest of y'all will be there too

Teams always play harder and better when they are playing in front of a good rowdy home crowd

The tickets are very reasonable so no excuses

Put on your orange and get your butts to the arena and show some support. With true fan support Bruce will have that team competetive in no time.

GO BIG ORANGE GO BRUCE PEARL

 

[LadyinOrange]

Dave, if I lived within two hours of Knoxville, I would probably LIVE at UT sports events, but a six hour one-way trip gets in my way a little bit.

That and the cost of gasoline.

:bad:

 

[redneckdave]

well you are excused but you should come to at least one game a year

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Yeah living in Indiana is a put back on attending every game

 

[redneckdave]

am i gonna have to chear loud enough for all of you?

i live close and been season ticket holder for LONG LONG time. been through the bad times and the worse times. IM OWED a winning basketball team. Ive put my time in.

BRUCE WILL GIVE ME WHAT IM OWED

I do try.


And when UT plays Vandy in NAshville, it's an easy ride too.

 

[GoVolsDogg]

Does anyone else not see Duke on the list?

 

[Freak]

I think Cameron Indoor Stadium only holds about 9300.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

How many does Cameron hold? I was thinking it was'nt all that big, if I'm right that would keep it down on the list.

 

[Vol67]

That ranking is paid attendance not turnstile count.

 

[Vol67]

Cameron 9,314

That would explain why no Duke. Wonder who has the longest sellout streak in Div. 1?

 

[Vol67]

I think its UK

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

I was thinking it was either Kentucky, Duke or Arizona.

 

[cookeville_vol]

I would love to go to a Duke game at Cameron oneday. Just to feel the atmosphere.

 

[OWB]

I never would have thought that we were 20th.....Strange.

That makes sense then, wonder why it is so small for such a big basketball school?
