UT won't have to pay 14.25 tax on ticket sales. Negotiations for UT-Va Tech ongoing since February. Heated up in July. BMS can sell beer

I don't understand scheduling games 14 years out. 4-5 years out is plenty of time.

looks even worse than I thought. The draw up of the field inside the track on utsports is just tiny. Looks like they mocked up maybe 1200 seats worth of bleachers with people standing around everywhere. What would the fun in sitting in Turn 3 be? I want this to work as someone from the Tri Cities and a die hard Vols fan, I just don't see it panning out to be a fun experience.

Guess you didn't see the mockup I posted. You're right, the fouled is really small in that infield. People just didn't realize this. Sight lines will be fine with unobstructed views, the problem will be the shear distance from the seats to the field. Nevertheless, it's a huge event and great publicity!

I didn't see your mockup, but I mocked it up to realize that practically all of Neyland fits inside the first rows of seats at BMS. The sheer distance is beyond alarming. You flat out won't see any action from a seat in the turns, especially if they do put it in the middle of the infield as the picture they had for the PC is indeed the plan.

Maybe the field will be on a giant platform that constantly makes left turns around the track. Then the field will be placed on that platform, inside a giant wrestling ring. They will play the game as it moves

Holy crap I wish people would get off the subject of it being so far away. I'm sure they'll put up a jumbotron. Even if there is not, stop complaining. Biggest game in the history of football. Be a part of it, or GTFO.

+1. It's not like UT is enlarging Neyland and expecting fans to live with this for the next 30 years. This is about massive exposure for our program (think the kids we're recruiting right now are going to care if the "sight lines" are too far?), and if our fan base can't get on board with that for a one-time event then we truly have too many idiots in our fan base.

Holy crap I wish people would let others be entitled to an opinion. Let them voice their opinion or GTFO!
