1. I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed those seats have warp capability.
2. I just saw "all in" and assumed they'd include something. Otherwise, $250 to stand in the Upper Deck seems rough lol.
Murfreesboro to Chattanooga as well. The interstate from Chattanooga river bend to Monteagle Mountain and then from there to Murfreesboro is a nightmare.My biggest issue is how long it takes to get from Nashville there. It should only be about 2 hours 4 minutes but every time it’s almost 5 due to a traffic issue. I would love to have season tickets but it’s wearing just getting there and back. The really need to expand that interstate.
2 hours and 4 minutes, it's 180 miles. You make it in 2 hours and 4 minutes on normal days? You wouldn't be driving a black Trans Am?My biggest issue is how long it takes to get from Nashville there.

I think that Dr Spiva was a total hoot. Came from a Texas banking family , worked for Ford Foundation in India raved about PORSHAS all the time. Explained that banks print money...never forgot that. Econ 2110 on the tube. Eccentric was an understatement.I think it's time to upgrade Neyland in line with UT Economics professor Tony Spiva's plan from the late 70's: Make it a dome, paint it orange, put a green exhaust vent on top, and burn the escaping alcohol fumes as an eternal flame. And voila the real Big Orange!
If we can spend money make a stand around and chat space then surely we can do that.
I gave a like, because I haven't seen this expression used in while... it reminds of the dry and stuffy (but funny) British humor of the 70's and 80's. John Cleese, mostly. Basically, American tourists were collectively referred to as "the proletariat"... with the pubs they frequented to be avoided, of course.Don't forget this amenity:
Altering the time space continum doesn't come cheap.
- Sports bar feel with a warp around bar and drink rails
I don't think food/drink is included. Just private concession stands where you don't have to associate with the proletariat class.
He was indeed a total hoot, and a really good teacher. The man had a full life to say the least. I think he also worked for the ADB in Indonesia. And he went to the ends of the earth to fly fish.I think that Dr Spiva was a total hoot. Came from a Texas banking family , worked for Ford Foundation in India raved about PORSHAS all the time.

When we lived in Memphis I would just leave straight after work on Friday (Maybe I cut out a little early ) and miss the traffic. The only way to avoid it is to be on the road when no one else is. Obviously this doesn't work for everyone but saves a ton of wasted time.My biggest issue is how long it takes to get from Nashville there.

I agree completely. They need to do a better job of marketing exactly what is going to be available up there.Maybe it's just me, but I feel that someone needs to put together an explainer video or else these tickets are an incredibly tough sell. Right now, as @GulfCoasterVol said, this is feeling a lot like a sports bar (except, you know, without air conditioning). I'm actually quite interested in this concept, but I expect things including:
- Drink and food options that aren't available in the general concourses
- Some television screens showing other Top 25/SEC matchups (the Tennessee game is literally right there)
- A guarantee that you aren't selling more tickets than there are non-reserved seats
- Dedicated restrooms
- Other amenities I can't think of right now but would become glaringly obvious after standing for five minutes
That was my prom night, and it was even held at the Coliseum, too. I eventually couldn't stand it anymore so me and my date ditched the prom and went to their concert. That was the 3rd time I saw them live. Later that night, me, my date, and Skynyrd were the only ones at the Tiki Bar in the Hyatt. Dressed in a long-tailed tux and looking like a dork, I was just too chickensh*t to try hang out with them. Ronnie even looked at me at one point like he was expecting us to come over to party with them. From what I knew about them and myself at the time, it would have been a rip-roaring good time. It's one of the biggest regrets of my life, but it did teach me to not let moments like that ever go by again.
