102,455 for BYU

[Sam I Am]

No thanks. I'm going to stay home and watch college football. (zing)

 

[Catbone]

I think we will get lucky to break 80k.

80k would be a huge victory. I'm thinking 60k

 

[MyVolsDropped]

Wow it's on ESPN? So the whole game EVERYONE is going to hear just how bad and down this program is and how we got our teeth kicked in at home by Georgia State. It will be more salt to the wound. The broadcasters will have a field day. They'll talk about it all game.

The damage has been done.

I will be watching from my bed and use it as sleeping material.

I have lost all hope and faith in this team and this program. Saturday will be the final nail in the coffin. Only because it's being broadcast on ESPN. Now everyone can witness it first hand and see it live.

This will be a national embarrassment. I'd be embarrassed to show my face after Saturday night.

 

[Ten_Titans]

You guys are overreacting. There will be at least 90k there. It's a night game against a reputable program. That being said, if theh lose to BYU, expect there to only be around 60k at UTC the owing week

Absolutely zero chance 90k people come to the game. Absolutely zero.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I looked at the signs yesterday. The beers are $12 and $13!

Yeah, but, they give you a complimentary ticket to the next game. (Blue font)

 

[zydane47]

Actual attendance for the opener was 75kish according to talking heads. I'd expect no more than 65k for BYU

I’d be surprised if 40K show up, and if they do and this team plays like it did Saturday the only people left will be BYU fans

 

[Power T-Rev]

Absolutely zero chance 90k people come to the game. Absolutely zero.

Bump

 

[savannahfan]

70k to start the game, 12k by the end of the 3rd quarter.

With the weather that might come from the hurricane, (rain) 70 may be too high a number...

 

[BisonVol]

75k. Anything more than that would be an excellent crowd when you consider what happened against GA State.

 

[jpope9]

Wow, that's higher than any other stadium prices that I've seen so far.

add to that apparently no one in Neyland takes a debit card....blows my mind how inept they are.

 

[friVOLity]

Yeah, but, they give you a complimentary ticket to the next game. (Blue font)

If the BYU game goes anything like the last one, I'll be trying to trade the rest of my season passes for beer.

 

[UTK]

If you go to the game you're part of the problem imo. Sorry, but it's true at this point.

 

[JokermanVol]

Last time I recall an empty Neyland movement it was at the end of Butch's era and 90-95k showed up.

I'll listen to the game on BYU Radio since they're superior to Bob and Tim

I know I will catch "you know what" from some of you guys, but understand I am a season ticket holder and I am as disappointed as anyone. The effort seemed to be as disappointing as anything to me. I understand the frustration, anger, and disappointment, is a byproduct of passion. However, I have to wonder what effect the negativity from Volnation (as a whole, not this forum) has on recruits and of course the pundits love it. Yes, the recruits take noticed of possible immediate playing time, etc., but the Twitter blast, message boards, half filled stadium, etc., how does that fair with them? And again, the pundits love to hate us. I am going to the BYU game and have been looking forward to it for months now being that it is a night game on ESPN with a national audience. BYU will have a lot of fans. Personally I would love to see a near sell out, and to show the national audience, the players, and the coaches we are true fans that will continue to stand by our team regardless of the first game disappointment. I believe they will play better (hard to play worse) and I think a great crowd with a win would go a long way in the locker room and change the perception of TN fans nationally.

Good for you!

There are multiple posts calling for boycott already. When fans call for boycotting games they have lost focus. Look, if UT keeps losing, any such boycott isn’t going to be the cause for change, losing is. If the Vols start winning in the midst of such boycott, such boycott isn’t going to effect change either. Boycotting games won’t bid well for UT, much less the fan base.

80k would be a huge victory. I'm thinking 60k

Eh I think it will be a little more than that. I think maybe 70k but I could totally see and understand it being much less.

And it didnt work

 

[allvol123]

I looked at the signs yesterday. The beers are $12 and $13!

Supply and demand. No stadium has more people in such desperate need to be drunk.

 

[goooooovols]

I have tickets but will stay home and #emptyneyland until they show something worth expending my entire day to.

On a side note it’s just blatant robbery to charge $12 for beer.... makes 0 sense from a marketing standpoint.

 

[BeardedVol]

Tickets are getting super cheap on Stubhub. People who don't normally get to go to games will end up snatching them up and keeping the stadium from being empty. It will just be that sad 60-70k with holes everywhere, if we come out and start tanking early, will quickly drop to 30k as people who paid $25 dollars for tickets will have zero qualms about leaving early.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I don’t think the players and the coaches deserve our support this weekend after that poor effort against Georgia St.

We’ve been patient long enough, stop giving your hard earned money away to the games and eventually, the administration will get the hint.

 

[AppFan82]

I looked at the signs yesterday. The beers are $12 and $13!

Come over the mountain to Kidd Brewer Stadium. Domestic beers are $7; craft beers are $9. It's a pretty easy drive from Knoxville to Boone.

 

[VolAllen]

They could give all the Dorian evacuees free tickets and they still wouldn’t hit 102k this Saturday.

At this point in time, they’d be better off scrapping the metal bleachers and installing 70,000 actual seats. That place won’t see 100k anytime soon.

I will be there with my son cheering on the VOLS bf I am a VOL during the good times and the bad.... I just wish the good times would happen again soon.

I think they are 24 oz beers but could be wrong.
