Did you buy them before?

Bought season tickets at another school bc I’m faculty and I get them cheap, but watching them be mediocre while sweating during noon kickoffs was not fun. So, I was on the verge of buying season tickets for UT and splitting with someone now that I have tenure and family in East TN. My wife and I are back in East TN multiple times in the fall anyways, and I was thinking “I’m an alum, I can afford it, and why not? I love game days in Knoxville in the fall?”

If it weren’t for Rona, I probably would have pulled the trigger. I love going to games because you can see the whole field.

"As for fans, they certainly are important but season ticket renewals are still a ways away. Tennessee fans are loyal and passionate so I don't anyone really believes that thousands will ultimately stop going to games."

This is why we're asking Volnation to #EmptyNeyland. Don't put up with this crap any longer. It's been 15 years. Show them we demand a BIG change.

2 Saturday’s ago..... mine made me go on a seven hour trip to drive on Charlotte motor speedway to see Christmas lights..... we only live 45 minutes from there but it took 7 hours+ before we got back home..... going to football seemed to be pretty good during that adventure.

there is going to be more people do that anyway. Covid has taught us what we don’t have to have and many of us will give up less weekends away from home anyway.

And that isn’t even figuring in how many people will forever avoid big crowds again.

hiring freeze won’t even help with this. Covid changed us as a society forever imo

Yeah right lol. Do you get out? People “avoiding big crowds” is BS. I’m currently in Vail Colorado and there are people everywhere lol even with Covid limitations.

Seeing Christmas lights with your family is boring? You need to go do some soul searching. Anytime I get a chance to do something with my fiancé, I do it. Don't complain about **** like that, tf is wrong with you

Tennessee fans are loyal, but are they any more loyal than most other SEC fanbases. South Carolina specifically pointed to lack of interest next year from fans as a reason to dismiss Muschamp. Do they just not have loyal fans enough to fill up their stadium?

I love it even when it’s hot, cold, raining..... I have only missed 3 games since 1990 and those were due to work.....ok will stick it out good, bad, or ugly.

I know for a fact some higher boosters are supporting fulmers leadership but not on board with really wanting Pruitt back

Ok, I just wanted to clarify to Jake that I wasn’t branding people on this board as Pruitt backers. I was just talking about the administration, et al.

I didn’t say me. Yea I get out a lot but I can say without a doubt I know many that don’t and won’t ever return to getting out as much as they did before.

and yea I can’t wait to get back into Neyland but instead of 4-5 games a year I’m grading toward 1-2 and the coach won’t change that
