OT? - Attendance Record to Fall?
Haven't heard much recentlly about the Battle @ Bristol Speedway but just drove thru TN and was thinking of it, the video has some actual shots...seems like its going to be a faraway view.
Personally I think its a sketchy attempt to steal the actual record in a stadium not designed for footballl, hence it should have an asterik (*) next to it. Other websites claim all tickets have been sold but I'll wait to see it before I believe it. Perhaps still mad about the '97 Heisman Trophy?

...and put Indy cars on the ice at Yost.

Brilliant!
This must happen.

I read an article that said they were expecting 160,000. So yes, it's likely our attendance record will fall.

Make the bowl even with the luxury boxes. No upper deck required.
August 30th, 2016 at 9:02 AM ^
Did you really dump the dope, or are you just saying that?
I think you're just saying that.

What is this? A field for ants?

I wanted to go considering my wife went to VT and I live 5 mintues from BMS. But good, god the tickets are expensive for terrible seats far from the field. I expected them to be lower considering the huge supply. I realize it's two rabid fan bases in a great area to get both...but I've gone to VT home games with better seats for cheaper than what I could find on the secondary market for this one. But hey, I might go down and tailgate anyway. Or go to Nashville for the weekend.

Is what will Grapentine (the PA announcer) say when the attendance for that week is announced? Traditionally it has contained "..thank you for being part of the largest crowd watching a football game in America today" Is he going to add "in a football stadium"
August 30th, 2016 at 2:03 PM ^
I wonder that too. Technically it'll still be true at that moment since the Bristol game is in primetime, but that is splitting hairs.

Now it doesn't. I'm glad we're back to having the biggest stadium, and that we have a good enough team that our fans want to come to games in droves. That's enough for me.
August 30th, 2016 at 10:18 AM ^
this one seems to be low on that list

I think it should have an asterisk next to it for being the most redneck college football game ever played.

Please use "yer" correctly.

For Payton and their team quiting and getting blown out by NE.
August 30th, 2016 at 8:51 PM ^
...that they scheduled App State for their opener this year.
August 30th, 2016 at 12:19 PM ^
What do you expect from Tennessee? This is pure stupidity and shouldn't count for any kind of "record". Who in their right mind would want to watch (assuming you could actually see anything) a game under those conditions?

Why don't we put two or three football fields inside Texas Motor Speedway and play all the games simultaneously.
- Texas vs Baylor
- TCU vs Texas Tech
- Texas A&M vs Houston
Football explosion.
(99.2% kidding)

This idea... good.
Also, why not put a field on a floating island half way between the U.S. and Europe and call everyone on the eastern seaboard as well as all of Great Britain, Iceland, Spain, Portugal and France attendees? We could have like 200 million+ attendance and the views would be just as good as they are at Bristol. #bringbacktherecord

If it wasn't for splitting the revenue 6 ways...I'm not sure this isn't something that wouldn't get serious consideration.
And that makes me sad.
August 30th, 2016 at 10:46 PM ^
I take it they will be handing out binoculars as fans enter the stadium. This whole idea just seems strange and ridiculous to me.
August 30th, 2016 at 10:51 PM ^
Sounds like a bunch of drunk hillbillies to me.
