UT/VA Tech @ Bristol?

[slobberknocker]

I'm getting a motorhome for this sumbeach. This is gonna be amazing. I grew up in VA and most of my high school went to VT, or at least tried, and those that couldn't went to Radford.

bigorange gets it.

I just live 6 miles from the track. I'll park my truck on 394 early in the week and get dropped off for the game.

I agree with you but hope it happens. We'll know Monday. I'll trade my Harley for a good seat!!!!!!!!!!

Define good seat. :question:

 

[hmhawk]

I saw something earlier that said our usual Monday press conference has been cancelled, because Butch and somebody (Hart maybe) will be in Bristol.

The news here said it would be announced at the speedway Monday. I'd say they'll be here if it's a go.

Define good seat. :question:

50 yd line about 10 rows back give or take. Don't know what all Bruton will tear out like he did to put the dirt track in

I wonder if the track rules about coolers will be intact for this event. If so RV's and camping for the weekend

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

I heard Franklin is on the trail promising ever elusive 2* recruits that they could possibly play in front of that many at one game.
LOL. Sorry couldn't resist.

What Franklin actually meant was if the recruits were bred for athletics and their parents were good-looking enough, they might play against 160,000 fans...for the season.

So who gives up the home game?

VT the track is in Tenn

 

[volmaverick]

Take that Michigan and the largest crowd for a game of college football!

Mich will still hold record for on campus stadium?

 

[volmaverick]

I've never been to the BMS. Is it that much higher than Neyland? Or is it just the perspective. Given the blacktop area at BMS is about 650 ft. the rest looks correct. Nice job.



You could almost fit 2 football fields in the infield.

You wont be able to see the football

Same here. Swore to myself I wasn't going to either.

If this is a BIG success ...will there be a SUPER BOWL played there?? Hmmm

 

[cpavol]

Redskins/Eagles played there in 61. Pretty sure field is the same size.

Here is a link with a story about the game and a picture of the field.

Beamer and the VT AD are also scheduled to be in Bristol on Monday.

I don't think people will care that much. They'll just want to be part of the atmosphere.

No. The Super Bowl isn't about having the most fans in attendance. It's almost for the media as much as anything. That's why you see New Orleans and Miami often host the game. Plus, there isn't an NFL city close by.

I have a "special" friend that works at BMS. I expect her to provide me with a fun-filled weekend.

Sad you have to wait until 2016...but good luck! :good!:

 

[volnSC]

Would you guys think season ticket holders will get first chance at these tickets?

 

[volmaverick]

Wont be able to see numbers on the shirts

 

[volmaverick]

What about the buildings?

 

[Boca Vol]

What about the buildings?

I'm pretty sure they've already thought of this before announcing it to the sports world.

Most places don't operate like VN....You know, Over-react 1st, then find something to justify the over-reaction.

The rest of the world tries to iron out the details (such as buildings in the infield) before bringing 2 schools together and announce a football game at the track.

Yeppers...

GO VOLS..
GO BIG ORANGE ... :rock:

The fact that you're flipping me the bird only reinforces my outlook on Bristol.
